The much-loved Cheltenham Literature Festival returns this month with a fantastic programme of events including a couple of events (featuring a favourite of our book club, Bernadine Evaristo!) and CWR are delighted to be taking part in this year’s Lit Crawl on Saturday 9th October!

Described as the ‘younger, rebel sister to the main festival’, it is a night of ideas and creativity that sees every nook and cranny of all manner of Cheltenham venues packed with literary revellers until late into the night. The full programme for the Lit Crawl is on the Cheltenham Festivals website.

The CWR team will be hosting an immersive event at The School House Café from 5-6.30pm themed around ‘Space and Belonging’, exploring what a refugee camp looks like, all through the use of VR headsets. Please do pop in and join the team!

We will also be running a community crafting activity with the aim of creating a welcome gesture for new families and individuals arriving in Cheltenham. See you soon!
