Step into Spring returns 19 – 22 March with Prue Leith, Rachel Parris, Mark Haddon, Justine Picardie, Lamorna Ash, Daisy Fancourt and more.
Leave the winter blues behind with four days of insightful guided walks and engaging author talks to inspire reflection, spark curiosity, and uncover local stories.
This year’s highlights include restaurateur, cookery writer, novelist and star of The Great British Bake Off Dame Prue Leith DBE, BAFTA-nominated comedian, actor and Jane Austen fanatic Rachel Parris, multi-million bestselling author and artist Mark Haddon (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time), and renowned fashion historian Justine Picardie, author of international fashion best-sellers Miss Dior and Coco Chanel.
Alongside a range of fantastic talks, Step into Spring invites you to explore Canterbury, its hidden history and untold stories through a series of guided walks.
This year we are delighted to introduce an array of concessions prices in addition to our Under 30s Scheme to make Canterbury Festival events as affordable and accessible as possible.
Plus, if you book two or more talks across the Step into Spring programme, you will receive a 5% discount on the face value of each ticket.
