Feedback…
Have you enjoyed the Festival so much that you want to congratulate us?
Or was there something really awful that we need to know about, so we can make sure it doesn’t happen again? Maybe there is an author you would like to see at a future Festival.
We welcome all your feedback and comments on our Festivals.
Please download the Appledore Book Festival Feedback Form as a pdf, fill it in and send it back to us
Or e-mail us your general feedback at: info@appledorebookfestival.co.uk
Many thanks for your interest in the Appledore Book Festival – we hope to hear from you soon.
