Join us as we welcome Harriet Constable to Wallingford

to discuss her spellbinding debut novel, The Instrumentalist.

Further details of Book Club are on the Book Club page.

The premise of Cookbook Club is simple. We come together on the first Tuesday of every month to enjoy a meal cooked from a favourite cookbook, discuss recipes and ideas and have a glass (or two) of something fitting. Tickets are limited.

Our cookbook for this month is Niki Segnit's The Flavour Thesaurus.

Come along to the shop at 6.30pm if you'd like to discuss the book and swap recipes with the other guests, before heading across to Five Little Pigs for Aimee's take on the recipes and a fabulous two course dinner from the book.

Email the Pigs to book your ticket at littlepigsltd@gmail.com

Friends of Goring Library (FOGL) are excited to be welcoming author Julia Jarman to Goring Library. She will be telling the story of how she has made the transition from prolific Children's author to the author of successful women's fiction with her series The Widows Wine Club.

Tickets are £10 per person (including a glass of wine) and available in Goring Library, in Inspiration or on Eventbrite.

Books will be sold on the evening by the Wallingford Bookshop.

As part of The Agatha Christie Mystery Weekend, we welcome Sophie Hannah to Wallingford plus loads more activities for all age.

Further details can be found here.

All welcome. Our prompt for this month is Grease Paint. Bring along a piece of writing linked in some way to the prompt or something that you’re working on that you feel needs a little outside help or feedback.

In this month's book club we'll be discussing every book on this year's Booker Prize long list. Choose to read any of the list and come and enjoy the discussion.

We’re delighted to welcome Anna Beer to Goring to discuss her debut novel Death of an Englishman, which is based in and around Oxfordshire (Goring and Streatley get a mention!)

Anna is a Visiting Fellow at Kellogg College, Oxford. She is an established non-fiction author, best known for her literary biographies of Milton and Shakespeare.

We are absolutely delighted that Professor Tamsin Mather FRS MAE is coming to Wallingford to discuss her brilliant book, Adventures in Volcanoland, described in The Guardian as 'A magical scientific exploration of volcanoes, and how they've shaped both nature and human destiny'.

Tamsin is a volcanologist and a Professor of Earth Sciences at Oxford University. She has appeared on The Life Scientific with Professor Jim Al-Khalili and The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox and Robin Ince on Radio 4. If you have an interest in earth sciences you really won't want to miss this.

Call us to book your place. £5 (£3 for students) redeemable against a signed copy of Tamsin's book on the night.
