Event Policy

All under 16s must be accompanied by an adult ticket holder.

Photos are taken at our events to be put on our social media and our website. If you would prefer not to be photographed, do let us know.

Tickets are refundable only if the event is sold out and can be resold. Books included with book and ticket options are not exchangeable or refundable.

Tickets can only be refunded up until 5.00pm the day before the event. After this time, we will not be issuing refunds.

Loyalty points are not accrued for tickets or books purchased for events.

We sometimes offer a limited number of tickets at the most economical prices so its best to book early to secure these as they are finite. We are always trying to balance accessibility and affordability for our audiences alongside requirements from publishers for events they allow us to host to sell enough books for them to be worthwhile enterprises for their authors.
