It's that time of year again when we invite a group of local writers to takeover our gallery for a weekend.
Last year's FRINGE Book Festival was a great success and although we hadn't initially thought about re-hosting the event in 2022 we were thrilled when, spearheaded by their members, The Writers Collective approached us to help out once again with a venue.
The Writers Collective is a not-for-profit community of writers who host a unique free digital directory of specialist writers & services helps individuals and businesses realise their project in 2018. The collective also connects authors and helps promote local literary events and new book releases.
This year the Penryn FRINGE Book festival concentrates on Poetry, Short Story, Fiction, YA and Children's book already on sale in the Gallery's unique niche selection of books by Cornish Authors and Illustrators, some of who are self published and underrepresented by the agents of traditional publishers.
The Penryn FRINGE Book Festival coincides with The Falmouth Book Festival and all the sixteen talks by local authors are FREE to attend but booking is advised by clicking on the name of the author/time you wish to attend...
