TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT’S GOING ON ACROSS THE EAST RIDING
East Riding of Yorkshire Council has given an update on events taking place across the region in the coming weeks and months.
East Riding Festival of Words returns for 2024
East Riding Festival of Words will be returning this October, with several best-selling authors in attendance.
Organised by East Riding Libraries, the Festival programme has been put together by librarians from the service, based on authors, poets and other creative writers who are popular with library members and customers.
This year, there are even more events going on, featuring more authors, workshops and activities than ever before.
New to the festival this year is the Gardening Day, held at Burton Constable Hall and featuring a plethora of authors and speakers.
