Author pix from the November 2025 event ALL THIS USELESS BEAUTY


Here are the authors who read/performed in front of an enthusiastic audience at our recent sell-out event at a new venue, the Lansdown Hall. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets and came along to support local authors. 

We were delighted to be part of the Stroud Book Festival. 

The authors are in the order in which they read/performed. Snaps by Ed Holland. Thank you, Ed.
