Discover the vibrant world of human celebration with travel writer Daniel Stables, as he shares the stories behind his book Fiesta: A Journey Through Festivity.Through colourful travel narratives set in some of the world’s most eye‑catching festivals, Stables explores why humans celebrate in the ways we do—drawing on anthropology, history, psychology and folklore to reveal the deeper meanings behind our rituals and traditions.
Stables has spent a decade writing about travel, beginning with guidebooks for Rough Guides before moving on to National Geographic, the BBC and national newspapers. His work has earned significant recognition, including shortlistings for Travel Writer of the Year (2021) and Travel Feature of the Year (2023).
Join us at Richmond Town Hall for a fascinating journey into the extraordinary lengths people go to express culture, identity and joy through festivity.
