Join publisher and librarian, Harry-Anne (Dragonhide Studios) for a talk about the past and present of book bans. Hear about the history of puritanism, anti-gay bans on children's books and the Nazi book burnings. Harry-Anne will chat about the modern British perspective including the social pressures and cyber bullying aspects of book banning.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A and you will be able to browse and purchase (banned!) books.

As the winter evenings draw in, we’re thinking about what keeps us hopeful and connected. Come along and share something; personal, political, rage or joy, new words or old favourites to chase away wintery disillusionment.
To sign up to perform simply send us a message or email, there will also be a few spaces to sign up on the night if inspiration strikes. So whether you’re a poet, comedian, musician, or something else entirely, we’d love to have you perform with us!
