Beans on Toast


 
An evening of songs and anecdotes from festival legend Beans on Toast. His latest book Wild Folk People Honest is funny and full of soul; a book about connection, creativity and the beautiful mess of being alive.

Jeanette Winterson


 
In her unique style, Jeanette Winterson cracked open the legendary tale of Shahrazad in One Thousand and One Nights to reveal timeless questions: Who should we trust? What makes us happy? Is love the most important thing in the world?
