A very merry Christmas from Cheltenham Festivals...

A Very Merry Christmas from Cheltenham Festivals...

'Tis just weeks before Christmas, and here at Cheltenham Festivals we're beginning to feel distinctly, well, Festive! To celebrate this jolliest of seasons we asked the stars of this year's Literature Festival to share with us a special Christmas Memory.

Every day of advent we'll be unwrapping a different Christmas Memory for your delight and delectation. And as an extra-special treat, every Festive-Friday we'll be hearing from our Festival Directors and giving away Festive-al prizes galore!

So sit back, grab a mince pie and unwrap a very special Festive-al memory...

On your marks, get set, go!

The Festival is only weeks away - so as a special treat to whet your literary appetites, we've just released 50 copies of Joseph Heller's classic Catch-22 into central Cheltenham! 
Polly and Candice get ready
for the drop...

It's all part of the Bonne Maman Big Read and our mission to get as many people as possible reading this amazing book. We took to the streets this morning and have hidden the books all around town - some are really obvious, some are a little more obscure. So if you find a copy take it home, read it, love it and share it with friends.

All we ask is that you let us know where you found it, and maybe keep us up to date with your reading. You can let us know by commenting on this blog, or joining us over on Facebook or Twitter ...

To help you with your quest to catch Catch-22 here are a few shots of the books out on the town....


 
Happy hunting book fans!
