A unique mix of daytime walks and evening talks to both inspire and invigorate:
Be inspired: meet celebrated authors, discover new ones and engage in a full programme of morning and evening book events.
Be invigorated: explore the beautiful Northern Dales in autumn - enjoy daily walks for amblers, ramblers and serious walkers led by friendly guides, keen to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for the Dales.
We have a great selection of graded walks to choose from each day, you can embark on an ambitious climb one day and enjoy an historical stroll the next. Some of the talks may relate to the local area you're visiting and some may take you off in into completely different subjects. There are also often more participatory events such as a Poetry Open Mic and Book Club discussions
