Barnes BookFest 2022, 23–25 September
Plans for Barnes BookFest 2022 are already well underway. As many of our customers in Barnes will already know, the BookFest was launched by the Barnes Bookshop, St Mary’s Church and Anne Mullins to bring writers of all genres to South-West London.
The widely noticed inaugural event last year included authors Michael Morpurgo, Sebastian Faulks, Hadley Freeman, Andrew Graham-Dixon and Alice Ross as well as Barnes locals Gyles Brandreth, Richard Harries and Chris Patten (view further information about the 2021 festival).
More details on the line-up for BookFest 2022 to follow soon.
Our Barnes Book of the Year
In 2021 the London Wetland Centre celebrated its 21st birthday. To mark the occasion, Andrew Wilson wrote ‘Wild about the Wetlands’, a magnificent record of the myriad creatures that have found sanctuary in its 100 acres. Created from four redundant Victorian reservoirs, the centre is run by the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust which was founded by Sir Peter Scott in 1946. A proportion of the sale of each book will go to the Trust. We have the book in stock.
