Upcoming Persephone events at our Bath bookshop

Then in the autumn there will be more Shared Reading sessions, in which we discuss a single passage from a Persephone book. These will be from 10.30am to 12pm on Thursday September 11th and Thursday September 25th, Thursday October 9th and Thursday October 23rd, and Thursday November 13th and Thursday November 27th. Led by Jenny Lacey, who is a trained Reader Leader, they are free to attend and there's no need to read anything in advance, but please email, telephone or come into the bookshop to reserve your place. 

On Thursday October 16th at 6.30pm, there will be a launch event for PB no. 153 Hop, Step and Jump featuring Rowan Pelling, who wrote the preface, in conversation with Francesca Beauman, followed by champagne and cheese straws. Tickets are £10. You can book online or alternatively email, telephone or come into the bookshop to add your name to the list.

Then on Saturday December 6th, join us for a Christmas Persephone Day. Having welcomed everyone with mulled wine and mince pies the evening before, we will then host a full day of Christmas-y events: a craft workshop, two panel discussions, a talk, a film screening and a concert. So why not come to Bath for the day, meet other Persephone readers, do your Christmas shopping in the Persephone bookshop and help us continue to celebrate neglected women writers in as many ways as we know how? Tickets on sale now, book here.

We also run two regular Book Groups; click here for further information.
