This year, following feedback from audiences in 2012,
we are going to concentrate on whole days and evenings of activities on
the two weekends of the festival. We will continue to keep ticket prices
as low as possible, and there will be a number of free events so everyone
can join in.
The new footbridge will be open and you can be sure this will be a feature
of WordFest 2013.
We will be working with West Sussex libraries, Ropetackle,
Marlipins Museum, The Shoreham Centre and as many local businesses and
organisations as possible.
Before
our main WordFest we have our on-going short story competition. Entries
are rolling in but there is still chance to enter - the closing date is
22 March. Readings and prize giving will be on World Book Night April
23rd at Ropetackle Arts Centre.
