Fishbourne Literary Festival on April 11, 2026
Patrick is thrilled that he’s going to be in conversation with his old friend, and University Challenge captain, Kate Mosse to kick off this delightful one day festival before you hear from the wonderful likes of Clare Chambers and Mike Gayle, Francis Spufford and Anna Mazzola. Patrick and Kate will be talking about his new novel, Love Lane, a story of marriage, homemaking, honesty and secrets which features Harry Cane, the hero of his runaway bestseller, A Place Called Winter. Their talk is bound to be wide ranging but will touch on the joys and difficulties of unearthing family secrets in fiction and the challenge of writing historical fiction so that it feels fresh and not heavily researched. St Peter and St Mary’s Church, Fishbourne. Tickets cost £35 for the entire day. Church doors open at 9 and Patrick and Kate will be speaking at 10. This festival is hugely popular and usually sells out rapidly, so don’t dither! You can book tickets, and find out all about the festival, by clicking here:
