Day one ✔

Thanks to everyone that came to the Willy Town Hall today, we had so many wonderful sessions with so many talented writers.

Our booksellers @bookandpaper have featured some of their favourites in the shop window, but they also have a pop up shop inside the Hub. Come and check it out, you may discover a session you didn't know was happening.

Tickets for tomorrow are still on sale. Can't wait to see you there. 🎫
