A Year of Reading and Writing: In Like a Lion and Out Like a Lamb

March 2026: In Like a Lion and Out Like a Lamb
Join local writers – and avid readers – Cathy and Stephen Wade, for a monthly book appreciation meeting with a difference.
To celebrate the National Year of Reading 2026, Cathy and Stephen have chosen a theme for each month of the year and will discuss books linked to these. Attendees will then be invited to write something inspired by the discussion.
March’s session is based around In Like a Lion and Out Like a Lamb, with featured books from the 1860s and 1960s, and themes of Victorian fantasy, rural poverty and the power of nature.
