Thank you for the lovely messages asking what is happening with Lit Fest 2022! We have spent the summer exploring funding options and we are almost there! Although we won't have our usual festival week, there will be events starting towards the end of the year! Watch this space!
We had a wonderful time @TMRetford celebration our winners from the 2020 and 2021 North Notts Writing Competitions! Our Festival Patron @paulcooksonpoet was there to hand out certificates and cakes! Thanks to @Wonder_Bookshop and @BassetlawDC and @NorthNottsBID for their support!
Dropping off books and vouchers today with @Wonder_Bookshop! Making Mondays brighter with books!
What better way to celebrate #WorldBookDay than shouting from the twittertops about how proud and lucky we are to have @Wonder_Bookshop as our festival bookseller!!! Happy World Book Day folks!
This #WorldBookDay we have a wonderful #BookshopoftheMonth feature.
@Wonder_Bookshop, Retford is a wonderland of children’s books. With an Alice theme throughout, this magical shop is a perfect location to send readers off on a magical journey.
