We have exciting news from the Fowey Festival.  Here is the statement that they have shared with us all this week -


We are thrilled to announce two new Festival Patrons and to unveil our new logo.

The new Patrons are Christian Browning – Film Director and Photographer, son of Daphne du Maurier and Iain Dale - British broadcaster, author, political commentator and former publisher and book retailer.

We look forward to working with Christian and Iain and welcome their support in assisting us to deliver our mission to promote the joy of literature and the arts, through our Festival and school outreach programme.

Christian Browning


We are honoured that Christian Browning, Film Director and Photographer, son of Daphne du Maurier and advocate of the work we do, joins us as Patron. His guidance over the years has been invaluable, and we are delighted to have his continued support.

Iain Dale

Iain Dale


We are thrilled to announce that British Broadcaster, Author, Political Commentator and former publisher and book retailer, Iain Dale, has been appointed as a Patron of the Festival. Iain is no stranger to the Festival having first attended over 20 years ago, when he interviewed Ann Widdecombe. This year, he returned to talk about his bestselling book, Kings and Queens, conducted author interviews and entertained a captive audience with a live recording of his highly acclaimed podcast, For the Many. Iain’s support and enthusiasm for the festival is infectious, and it is a privilege to have him on board.
