Another highlight for book-lovers will be a ‘literary weekend’ at the Priory Theatre on Saturday September 22 and Sunday September 23.

As well as Fiona Mozely, the event will feature journalist Anita Sethi, writers Sarah Moss, Kit de Waal, Sharlene Teo and Michael Donkor, as well as a ‘local authors showcase’ with writers such as Partick Kincaid and Harriet Cummings.

Lewis Smith, creative director of Kenilworth Arts Festival, said the line-up this year reflected the diversity within the arts scene at the moment.

He added: “Our aim is to showcase and support high quality, original work within the contemporary arts, and I’m really proud that our 2018 festival will feature writers and musicians who are truly at the forefront of their fields.”
