FEEDBACK FROM PRESENTERS

“They were a lovely on the ball audience who asked some brilliant questions and said some lovely things. It was just such a pleasure.”
Jo Brand Comic, actress and author of Born Lippy (2019 Festival Feedback)

“There is something really special about the Isle of Wight festival, this was my second appearance there and I’ve thought so both times. It has such a lovely atmosphere – the weather just couldn’t make a dint in that!!”
Kate Hamer author of Crushed (2019 Festival feedback)

“This is a super, super literary festival. There are 350 literary festivals in this country. I feel like I’ve been to almost all of them! I’ve certainly been to over a hundred of them and this is right at the top. Because it’s the trifecta as far as every writer is concerned. They laugh at the jokes, they ask intelligent questions, penetrating intelligent questions, and they also bought the book. So you put those three things together and any writer is going to be happy to come.“

Andrew Roberts author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny (2019 Festival feedback)

“A great treat for authors every year. Delightful surroundings and very efficient organisation. A thoroughly worthy cause!”
Peter Snow (2018 Festival feedback)
