Booking is now open for the ever popular Borderlines Book Festival in Carlisle which is being held in October.

The event, which will run from Tuesday 4th until Monday 10th October, has a variety for different speakers, workshops and events for everyone to enjoy.

This year’s event will see authors such as Robert Harris, Anita Sethi and Channel 5’s Yorkshire Shepherdess, Amanda Owen give talks about their latest projects and their lives as authors and content creators.

Borderlines’ ever popular writing workshops also return this year with sessions on the art of storytelling and writing a memoir.

The festival will also feature a dedicated new space for LGBTQI voices, OUTlines, and a new ticket for the under 25s to help widen the reach of the festival.

All events will take place at either Tullie House or in the Fratry Hall at the Cathedral, with ticket prices starting at £5 - with some events completely free.
