     Welcome to Lowdham Book Festival 2010
After last year's enormous tenth Lowdham Book Festival we've slimmed down a
little! But we hope there is still something for everyone, particularly on our last day when,
as always, all events are free and there is a very large book fair and café. We have quite a
few events outside the village, including our Bloomsbury Reading Groups Day in
Hoveringham and a free concert at Southwell Minster, so check the venue for your events
carefully! And soon we will be going a little further still with Lowdham Book
Festival on Tour with a literary weekend in Paris. We are also looking ahead to our tenth
‘Flicks in the Sticks’. We had record attendance this year and plans are taking shape for a
special celebration of film in 2011.
We are grateful to our partners and sponsors, speakers, volunteers and everyone who attends.
After ten years of significant public funding Lowdham Book Festival is now largely
self-sustaining with much appreciated support from Nottingham Trent University,
Writing East Midlands, Mainline Travel, Gonalston Farm Shop and Cllr Andy Stewart. And of
course you can help by becoming a Friend of Lowdham Book Festival.
We hope you enjoy the 11th Lowdham Book Festival and we look forward to
welcoming old friends and new faces.
Alan Sillitoe
Alan Sillitoe, who died on April 25th, was a great supporter
of Lowdham Book Festival, and its related events. He read
at the very first Festival and returned regularly to launch
new books, to be interviewed, to introduce film adaptations
at Flicks and to attend our winter weekend on
biography.
We will miss him very much. Ticket News
