The first ever Barnsbury Book festival is planned for 17-19 April. https://www.barnsburybookfestival.org/
It’s all in aid of restoring the 130-foot church spire in Thornhill Square – which is on the Heritage at Risk Register and badly needs work.
The line-up:
art and architecture Grayson Perry, Rowan Moore, Dan Cruickshank
history and literature Marina Warner, Frances Wilson, Clair Wills
music Stephen Hough
comedy Rob Delaney
food Felicity Cloake
journalism Rory Cellan-Jones, Hugh Pym
film and theatre Dominic Cooke, special showings of Powell & Pressburger, Trainspotting
and much else
