You may have seen that we offer Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer workshops for adults and children at our festival. And here’s one of our Dungeon Masters Sophie to tells us why 🔨

Tabletop role play gaming is a fantastic way of participating in collaborative and immersive storytelling. Let your imagination run wild and take full control of the storyline in the game. Whether our attendees were playing for the first time, or had already played previously, they loved the workshops! ✨

We loved hearing from Larry Lamb last night all about his new book ‘Wrapped Up’, which focuses on the unsung heroes of filmmaking and is informed by his decades in the industry. He even gave us some readings of his self-written poetry! ✍🏼

And of course, we had to ask him which Gavin and Stacey characters he thinks we’d be most likely to come on a trip to the Stratford Literary Festival! 🤭📚
