A day-by-day look at the events taking place at Fowey Festival – Wednesday 15th May

This morning begins with a Creative Work Shop from 9am – 10.30am in Fowey Parish Hall, led by playwrights Kate Aspengren and Kyle John Schmidt.  This interactive workshop will include some top tips on how to create some rich and unique characters of your own.

At 10.30am, the second of the Daphne du Maurier's Fowey Guided Walks begins.  This is an opportunity to learn about Daphne, her life, her novels and Fowey.  The walk starts at the Main Car Park, Hanson Drive, Fowey.

Amanda Prowse

Throughout the day, there is a super range of events, including Amanda Prowse talking about her new book, Swimming to Lundy, and Jennie Godfrey introducing you to her new book, The List of Suspicious Things.  

At 4pm in Fowey Town Hall, popular speaker Serena Trowbridge returns with her talk, Stories of the Stones.

Harriet Evans and Veronica Henry entertain us at 6pm in Fowey Town Hall with a discussion about their new books, The Stargazers and The Secret Beach.  Then enjoy the opportunity to see Jenny Éclair in conversation with BBC Radio Cornwall's Daphne Skinnard at 8pm in Fowey Parish Church.

This year, we are delighted to say that the Fowey Festival of Arts and Literature has a physical programme again, something that has been missing for the last couple of years and is now back by popular request.  You will be able to pick up a copy of the programme at The Royal Fowey Yacht Club, Fowey Parish Church, Fowey Town Hall, and some of the shops in the town.  You can also see the brochure and download it at the Fowey Festival website home page (scroll down the page to - Download the 2024 programme) https://www.foweyfestival.com
