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...

20th December: A stocking packed with literary treats...

There's only five sleeps until Christmas, and today's Festive-al treat is perfect for curling up with on a cold winter's night.

Today's prize package includes a signed copy of A.D. Miller's Man Booker Prize nominated novel Snow Drops, a copy of Dickens' festive classic A Christmas Carol and a Festival goody bag.

To be in with a chance of winning these literary classics just identify today's mystery star.



Today’s mystery guest is an award-winning author, who made his Cheltenham Literature Festival debut in 2010. We asked him about his year as the reigning Man Booker Prize winner, press play below to hear his answer…
