Dan Snow and Bernard Cornwell are among the celebrated authors confirmed for the 15th Annual Althorp Literary Festival, which takes place from Friday 5th to Sunday 7th October and the full schedule is available at http://spencerofalthorp.com/the-althorp-literary-festival-2018/
Earl Spencer – owner of Althorp and founder of the Althorp Literary Festival – said: “The Althorp Literary Festival is unique in the way it so warmly welcomes authors and audiences alike. It’s an honour to have a line-up such as the one we have this coming October, including Dan Snow, Prue Leith, Bernard Cornwell, Alan Johnson, and Julian Fellowes. Many of our authors now approach me to see if they can come, which is really heartening.”
Award-winning Dan Jones, author of international bestsellers including The Templars, says: “With brilliant line-ups of speakers in one of Britain’s most stunning venues, Althorp Literary Festival is simply magnificent – no other word will do. Appearing on the bill is a pleasure and a privilege and I can’t wait to return this October”.
Bernard Cornwell, author of multimillion-selling historical novels, including the Sharpe series, said: “Books and Althorp form an idyllic blend of beauty, wit and wisdom.”
