I found this on the Bookstore Tourism blog (US-based) by Larry Portzline – I went there for a speech by Dana Goia on culture (a must-read - see link opposite) and trawled down to find several bits on UK events and ideas, including Sedbergh, the book town. Not just books, but ideas and old-fashioned heartwarming entertainment. Don't throw up - have a look. It's great. I plan to be singing on the Settle railway and am seriously tempted to go carol-singing. Not to mention to the book fest and the ideas festival (Dana Goia would be thrilled by this).
