Pre-Festival orders at Waterstones

Pop up to Waterstones in Wells High Street to pre-order copies of books by any of the speakers you look forward to hearing at the Festival.

Waterstones will also be running its Cedars Hall Festival Bookshop during the Festival, and all available copies of the featured books will be displayed in the pop-up, and not at the branch store, during this time.

Sometimes there’s just no telling which authors will prove popular as Christmas or other gifts and sell out fast, so occasionally demand can outstrip supply.

To avoid the possibility of disappointment on the day, order the books from your favourite speakers and collect these ahead of the Festival from the main store.

For anyone attending the Book Group Event, Waterstones is also offering a 10% discount on Howard Jacobson’s What Will Survive Of Us.

Howard Jacobson appears at the Festival at 2.30pm on Sunday 19 October.
