The 2018 Festival was the seventh and last to be curated by Geraldine D’Amico
and with 50 events was her biggest festival and attracted the largest audiences.
From 2019, the Festival will be curated by Liam Browne and Seán Doran, whose
DoranBrowne partnership runs the Arts Over Borders programme in Ireland
and looks set to herald in a new and equally successful era for the Folkestone
Book Festival. Hospices of Hope is holding its popular Christmas Crafts Workshop on Saturday
16th November at Bessels Green Baptist Church Hall, Sevenoaks from 3pm to
6pm. There will be the chance to try at least three different craft activities in a
friendly atmosphere. Proceeds support hospice care in south east Europe.
Fundraising and Resources Director, Anna Perolls, said “Our Christmas Crafts
Workshop is the perfect way to get into the festive mood. Participants can relax
and chat, enjoy seasonal drinks and nibbles, and enjoy some creative time. At
the end of the day everyone will have created some beautiful handmade gifts for
friends and family.”
