Hearth Aelwyd 2023

Pull up a chair beside the fire and listen to fiction, poetry and short story authors from the comfort of the Gladstone Room lounge.

This event tends to sell fast, so save the date. You can book a bedroom too via the ‘book a stay’ button on the top right of the Gladstone’s Library website.

Full day tickets are £90 and include access to all four talks, the evening author panel and a two-course lunch and dinner with hot drink. Half day tickets are £50 and include a two-course lunch or dinner with hot drink.
