Our 2021 Festival is now over and what a fabulous festival it was.  More than 80 events took place over ten days in either our marquee at Skern Lodge or at various venues in Appledore village.  We were privileged to welcome some of the greatest names in the literary world, along with a BAFTA and Golden Globe award winning actress, a BAFTA award winning screenwriter, eminent environmentalists, a celebrity chef, peace advocates, actors, comedians, musicians, poets, historians, broadcasters and children's authors - the list goes on.  Why not take a look at our 2021 Gallery to see our full line-up.
