The Dulwich Literary Festival is This Weekend!


Recommended Posts

2016's Dulwich Literary Festival will be held this weekend, the 11th-13th of November, at Dulwich College.


We are delighted to be hosting a range of political, literary, and science events for adults and kids. Here are just a few. The festival will be bookended with politicial discussions between Harriet Harman and Margaret Hodge as well as Ken Clarke and Nick Clegg. Joanna Trollope will talk about her reworking of 'Sense and Sensibility' and and Joe Dunthorne will talk about his coming of age novel and recent film, 'Submarine.' Journalists Ian Cobain and Tim Marshall will debate the crucial relationship between corporations and the state's use of our personal information - to name just a few.

There are events for children of all ages, with an interactive class at Hogwarts, a writing workshop with Katherine Woodfine, and a storytelling journey across the desert with Sir Charlie Stinkysocks!




Come and listen to stories, discussions, and poetry to take your mind off or change your perspective on the world's troubles. Tickets can be purchased at http://dulwichliteraryfestival.co.uk.

    • Is anyone getting rid of a play tent? I’m looking for one suitable for a 6 year old boy. Many thanks. 
    • FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike

    • We do not go there anymore, it used to be a pleasant experience, but now shoppers are made to feel like criminals and the prices are not great. The till receipt gates to stop us nicking stuff do not work half the time - I would rather shop somewhere that makes me feel welcome. We also want to support our local independents, so we are trying to eat cheaper using less costly ingredients and buy local - it's a good way for us also to lose some weight! Veg and pulses.....and less booze 😞
