North Cornwall Book Festival on September 28, 2025
Patrick has now stepped down as artistic director of North Cornwall Book Festival, making way for his old friend Tiffany Murray to do the programming, but she has twisted his arm to come back to interview a couple of the authors. This will be on the final day, September 28, when he’ll be in conversation with Rachel Joyce about her wonderful new novel, The Homemade God, and with Ian Jones about his marvellously unexpected biography of triumphantly gay, wilfully single Essex author, Ronnie Blythe. Once booking opens, which it should do on July 1, you’ll be able to browse the full programme and make your choices at the website of its parent charity, Endelienta Arts.
