On meeting her inspirational teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda is encouraged and begins conjuring her own fantastical tales. Excited to attend Crunchem Hall, Matilda is surprised to find the school is an ominous and oppressive place led by the huge and villainous Miss Trunchbull.

OswestryAN EVENING WITH YVETTE FIELDING – SCREAM QUEEN
19:30 - 20:30 29th May 2024
Booka BookshopMore InformationJoin us for an evening with the UK’s most celebrated ghost hunter and Most Haunted icon, Yvette Fielding, as she talks about her experiences and her memoir Scream Queen.
Seances, Ouija boards, table tipping, knocking phenomena – all in a day’s work for the First Lady of the Paranormal. Yvette Fielding has nerves of steel when facing down her tormentors in the spirit world. Her living-world personal story also reveals a woman of courage and determination, who built success from nothing, following her passion and lifelong curiosity in search of answers to the unexplained.
Yvette was always fascinated with the afterlife, and Buddhist meditation practice opened her up to any spirit who wanted to contact her. This manifested in her first family home. Their TV would switch itself on, and kitchen cupboards would open and close all by themselves. When alone there, Yvette would arm herself with a Samurai sword to confront her unseen visitors.
But it was a harrowing investigation of eerie 800 year-old Michelham Priory where Yvette’s life-changing Most Haunted adventure began, and still continues many terrifying quests and over twenty years later.
Here you’ll walk with Yvette where others fear to tread through chills of the supernatural kind, and she also talks with candid honesty of occasional cold spots she’s encountered in human form. But through all the drops in temperature, the nation’s most celebrated ghost hunter radiates warmth and humour and it’s a joy to accompany her on her incredible journey from child TV star to Most Haunted icon.
Beware sceptics: the Scream Queen’s story could change your world view for ever.
We look forward to welcoming Yvette Fielding to Oswestry to celebrate the publication of Scream Queen. Whether you are a believer or a sceptic, this is sure to be a fascinating and entertaining evening – don’t miss it!
Tickets: £12 without book (Admits One, ticket redeemable against a signed copy of Scream Queen) or £22 with book (Admits One, includes a signed copy of Scream Queen)

OswestryAn Evening with Clover Stroud – The Giant on the Skyline
19:30 - 20:30 30th May 2024
Booka BookshopMore InformationJoin us for an evening with Sunday Times bestselling author Clover Stroud as she talks about her new book The Giant on the Skyline, an inspiring memoir about home, family, and belonging.
What is it that makes a home? What is a home without the roots that tie you to a place? What is a home when a family is split?
Clover’s eldest children are leaving home for university. Her husband Pete’s work is in America.
The only way for Clover and the younger children to live with him is to uproot, leave their rural life near the ancient Ridgeway in Oxfordshire and move to Washington DC.
Forced to leave the home she loves, Clover sets out to explore the place where she lives, understand the history of her landscape, and work out why it is that it is so hard for her to go.
In this profound and moving memoir, Clover paints a beautifully layered portrait of family, community and of belonging in a landscape that has drawn people to it for generation after generation.
We look forward to welcoming Clover Stroud to Oswestry to celebrate the publication of The Giant on the Skyline.
CLOVER STROUD is a writer and journalist, writing regularly for The Sunday Times, The Guardian and The Saturday and Sunday Telegraph, among others. She also hosts a popular podcast called Tiny Acts of Bravery. Her first book, The Wild Other, was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize. Her critically acclaimed second book, My Wild and Sleepless Nights: A Mother’s Story, and third book, The Red of My Blood: A Death and Life Story, were instant Sunday Times bestsellers and rated ‘best books of the year’.
Tickets: £8 without book (Admits One, ticket redeemable against a signed copy of The Giant of the Skyline) or £19 with book (Admits One, includes a signed copy of The Giant on the Skyline)

Pick up a self-led spotter sheet from the ticket office and see what types of butterflies and bees you can identify in the beautiful 5.5 acre garden.
Can you buzz like a bee or flutter like a butterfly? Which flower would you choose to gently land on if you were them and why?
Once you're done be sure to visit the medieval Adam Tower, where signs of the castle's medieval past can be seen. Have fun dressing up in armour, go on the hunt for the medieval garderobes (toilets to you and me) and murderholes, and venture down into the two-level dungeons... if you're brave enough!
The outdoor play area at Home Farm near the ticket office is a fabulous spot to keep little ones entertained and to run off some energy.

More InformationTake on an incredible ride alongside veterans, choosing 1 of 3 scenic routes of varying distances (152km/100km/50km), starting and finishing at the Royal British Legion’s first-class Battle Back Centre for recovery before heading through the picturesque Shropshire countryside.
Using decades of cycling know-how, each of the three distance routes offered have been professionally designed. While you enjoy stunning scenery, rolling hills, and tour past local landmarks - the team makes sure you have everything you need. This really is a sportive not to be missed.
By taking part you’re helping the Royal British Legion raise vital funds to ensure they can continue to support serving and ex-serving personnel, and their families, for as long as they need it.
There is no fundraising limit but for those who go the extra mile (not literally) and raise over £300, will earn their own RBL Cycling Jersey to wear with pride on the day.
Not a cyclist? There are also amazing opportunities to volunteer on the day offering a great way to get involved which will still contribute massively to support the Royal British Legion’s armed forces community and veterans.

But Mary has more than met her match in her sleuthing partner. As she battles the expectations of society and her family, Mary must follow her heart – whatever the cost…

She currently campaigns for her international charity Sarah’s Trust which supports education, women and children’s causes, refugees and disaster relief.

OswestryAN EVENING WITH ANGELA CLUTTON – SEASONING
19:30 - 20:30 6th June 2024
Booka BookshopMore InformationLove to cook? Calling all foodies!
Join us for an evening with award-winning food writer Angela Clutton as she talks about her new book Seasoning and helps us launch our new Booka Cafe with food tastings and wine.
Bring the rhythms of the seasons into your kitchen with this timeless guide to cooking and celebrating produce, all year round.
Seasoning spans the four seasons of the year, with insights into over 50 vegetables and fruits. Award-winning food writer Angela Clutton explores their seasonality, offering tips on shopping and storing, countless ways to use them, flavour partners and how to minimise waste. Plus 75 fresh, modern and approachable recipes show how to make the best of the season’s produce.
This book illustrates how embracing seasonality is about understanding the cycles of the land and the climate – even, or especially, as it changes – and how they have the ability to make things taste the best possible versions of themselves. Winter frosts bring out the sugars of sprouts and parsnips; sunshine doesn’t just make summer’s tomatoes sweet but deep with flavour too. It’s about sustainability, and also about the joy to be had in not having everything, always, but in looking forward to something, and then missing it when it’s gone. Vegetables and fruits take centre stage, with profiles of meat and fish – whose seasonality is often forgotten – woven through.
Discover how the seasons move and how what we want to eat and cook moves with them. Seasoning is an endlessly useful companion that will inspire confident, intuitive cooking, time and time again.
“A brilliant and beautiful book that everyone who loves to cook should own.” STANLEY TUCCI
We look forward to welcoming Angela back to Booka to celebrate the publication of Seasoning. There will be food tastings from recipes in the book and wine to mark the launch of our new Booka Cafe. Do join us!
Tickets: £15 (Admits One, includes tastings and wine. £10 redeemable against a signed copy of Seasoning)

13:30 - 14:30 7th June 2024
Booka BookshopMore InformationJoin us for an afternoon with best-selling author, Catherine Newman as she talks about her new novel ‘Sandwich’.
One week in Cape Cod.
The perfect family holiday. What could possibly go wrong…? For the past two decades, Rocky has looked forward to her family’s yearly escape to Cape Cod. Their rustic beach-town rental has been the site of sweet memories, its quirky furniture and mismatched pots and pans greeted like old friends.
Now, sandwiched between her children who are adult enough to be fun but still young enough to need her, and her parents who are alive and healthy, Rocky wants to preserve this golden moment forever. This one precious week when everything is in balance; everything is in flux. But every family has its secrets and hers is no exception.
With her body in open revolt and surprises invading her peaceful haven, the perfectly balanced seesaw of Rocky’s life is tipping towards change…
A huge favourite of Bookshop manager, Ruth along with her previous novel ‘We all Want Impossible Things’, which was selected for the Richard & Judy Bookclub. If you enjoy Marian Keyes and Nora Ephron, then this is the perfect event for you. A raucously funny novel with an unexpected punch.
Come along for ‘Bookchat’ and coffee ‘Upstairs at Booka’ and widen your reading horizons.
Tickets: £5 (redeemable against Sandwich)

OswestryFirelight Trio
19:30 - 22:30 7th June 2024
More InformationExperience the vibrant heart of Europe with Firelight Trio - where every note weaves a tapestry of tradition and innovation, and every performance is a journey through the continent’s soulful melodies and spirited rhythms.
Firelight Trio is a mighty new group featuring Fatea instrumentalist of the year 2023 Gavin Marwick (fiddle), accordionist Phil Alexander (Moishe’s Bagel), and Ruth Morris (Outlander – HBO) on the beautiful Swedish Nyckelharpa. They play European music that is evocative, inventive, and endlessly exciting. Ruth’s resonant nyckelharpa is matched by Gavin’s powerhouse fiddle, all backed up by Phil’s groovily inventive accordion and piano, in a rich tapestry of lively Swedish polskas and Scottish reels, lilting French waltzes, toe-tapping klezmer, dazzling original tunes and more.
‘A veritable roots music supergroup’ – RnR magazine
‘Top-calibre trio with grace, energy, and playfulness’ - Folk Radio UK
‘Achingly beautiful’ – Fatea
‘Deeply expressive, impressively virtuosic and cheekily sardonic, all in perfect measure’ Songlines ****
‘Simply splendid… three musical giants’ – RnR magazine
‘Absolutely superb, thrilling and mesmerizing performance! A truly memorable concert and 100% enjoyable from toddlers to seniors.’ -Laura Pyrrö, cultural producer of Espa Stage, Helsinki.
They had a fantastic live review from St George's, Bristol, which you can read here: https://www.fatea-records.co.uk/magazine/live/3CW.php/
The album is on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/3BG0uHyMWZg6DWnpbAughi
Or on Bandcamp: https://firelighttrio.bandcamp.com/album/firelight-trio
‘It's very hard not to think about Europe and be desperately furious about loss when listening to this incredible album by Firelight Trio. It's stuffed with Latvian marches, French Chapelloise, Balkan Polskas, Ukrainian klezmer tunes and German jigs. At every turn it is joyous, deliriously uplifting, wildly inventive, it is breathtakingly beautiful, gently contemplative, wonderfully thoughtful. It is, in short, everything that makes European music so great.’ – Gavin McNamara

All Day - 8th June 2024
Cae Glas ParkMore InformationWe will be commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy on Saturday June 8th in Cae Glas Park. Further details to follow.The D-Day landings of 6th June 1944 was the largest seaborne invasion in history. Along with the associated airborne operations, it marked the beginning of the liberation of France and western Europe. Unprecedented coordination between Allied nations, and the intensive planning of engineers, meteorologists, logisticians and countless more, led to a force from 13 countries approaching Normandy in a 5000-vessel armada. In the early hours of D-Day, 24,000 paratroopers and glider-borne troops landed behind German lines to provide tactical support. Massive naval and aerial bombardments attempted to supress the German defences and weaponry. Then a ground force of more than 130,000 troops came ashore on five beaches across a 50-mile stretch of Normandy coast, with the first waves often facing intact defences. By the end of D-Day there had been 10,000 allied casualties. Yet this was only the beginning. The ensuing Battle of Normandy was to last into August and cost tens of thousands of lives as it defeated and repulsed the occupying German forces eastwards. It was a decisive success for the Allies and paved the way for the liberation of much of north west Europe.

Booka Bookshop and Linghams Booksellers are delighted to present ‘An Evening with Fearne Cotton’
A whole generation have grown up with Fearne.

When mysterious scripts begin to appear, predicting scenarios in which she fails to stand up for herself, she realises that she must stop telling otherswhat they want to hear. But that’s easier said

at Booka Bookshop
OswestryAn Afternoon With Elizabeth Macneal – The Burial Plot
14:00 - 15:00 12th June 2024
Booka BookshopMore InformationJoin us for an afternoon with Elizabeth Macneal, the bestselling author of The Doll Factory, as she talks about her new novel The Burial Plot, a spellbinding gothic thriller set in nineteenth century London.
London, 1839. Where the cemeteries are full and there is money to be made in death, Bonnie and Crawford lead a life of trickery, surviving off ill-gotten coin and nefarious schemes. But one hot evening, their luck runs out. A man lies in a pool of blood at Bonnie’s feet and now she needs to disappear.
Crawford secures her a position as lady’s maid in a grand house on the Thames, still deep in mourning for its late mistress. As Bonnie comes to understand this family – the eccentric Mr Moncrieff, obsessively drawing mausoleums grand enough for his dead wife, and their peculiar daughter Cissie, scribbling imaginary love letters to herself from the mysterious Lord Duggan – she begins to question what really happened to Mrs Moncrieff and whether her own presence here was planned from the beginning.
Because Crawford is watching, and perhaps he is plotting his greatest trick yet …
The Burial Plot is the third novel from Sunday Times bestseller Elizabeth Macneal. Concerned with murder, manipulation, and a young woman wrestling power from the hands of a dangerous man, this is a macabre, intensely evocative and utterly compelling novel. We look forward to welcoming Eback to Booka to celebrate its publication.
Tickets: £8 without book (Admits One, ticket redeemable against a signed The Burial Plot) or £19 with book (Admits One, includes a signed copy of The Burial Plot).

15:00 - 17:00 15th June 2024
More InformationDelighted to welcome back to Hermon the ever popular Rick Wilson.
Come try your hand at percussion, literally.
Born and educated in London, Rick started messing around with drums in his mid-teens whilst recovering from the fall-out of inadequate secondary music teaching. Listening to a wide selection of musics developed a can-do attitude that grew quickly after meeting other like-minded souls. He embarked on a performing career with rock bands including The Work before diversifying his skills and experience with musicians from other traditions, and increasingly linking music with story and other art forms.
Initially self-taught on kit, he later studied Chenda temple drumming with Shankaran Marar and V.D.Nair in Kerala, south India; Berber rhythms in the Atlas mountains of Morocco and Brazilian carnival music with Sheda Baba in London.
As accompanist for education and performance dance projects, he has worked with Shobana Jeyasingh, T. Oonikrishnan and P.Jayachandran.He has also been a tutor for WOMAD and Glyndebourne and spent many years working throughout the UK with Common Lore Storytellers and Musicians, as both performer and teacher.
In 1999 Rick completed a degree (2:1) in Music Studies at SOAS in London. With regular collaborator Helen East, he has visited schools at all levels, teachers’ centres, theatres, conferences and festivals in the UK and worked in Australia, India, Indonesia, Mexico, South America, Singapore and Portugal, often under the aegis of the British Council.

19:30 - 20:30 17th June 2024
Booka BookshopMore Informationndependent Bookshop Week 2024
Join us for an evening with award winning author Wyl Menmuir as he talks about his new book The Heart of the Woods, a deep and explorative companion piece to The Draw of The Sea.
Just as a parent leaves a legacy to their child, a tree leaves a legacy to its surroundings.
Throughout history, trees have determined the tools we use, the boats we build, the stories we tell about the world and ourselves, the songs we sing, and some of our most important rituals. As such, our lives are intertwined with those of the trees and woodlands around us.
In this journey deep into the woods, Wyl Menmuir travels the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland to meet the people who plant trees, the ecologists who study them, those who shape beautiful objects and tools from wood, and those who use them to help others.
Wyl also explores how our relationship with trees is enduring, now and in the future – what we get out of spending time around trees, the ways in which our relationship with them has changed over time, and the ways in which our future is interconnected with theirs.
Written in close collaboration with makers, crafters, bodgers, and woodsmen and women in order to better understand the woods they know so well, the joys and frustrations of working with a living material, and the stories of their craft and skills, The Heart of The Woods will delight anyone who enjoys walking among the trees, and anyone who, when lost, has found themselves in the woods. We look forward to welcoming Wyl to Booka to celebrate its publication during Independent Bookshop Week.
Wyl Menmuir is a multi-award winning author based in Cornwall. His 2016 debut novel, The Many was longlisted for the Booker Prize and was an Observer Best Fiction of the year pick. Wyl’s first full-length non fiction book, The Draw of the Sea, won the Roger Deakin Award from the Society of Authors and a Holyer an Gof Award. A former journalist, Wyl has written for Radio 4’s Open Book, The Guardian and The Observer, and the journal Elementum. He is a course leader for Curtis Brown Creative, co-creator of the Cornish writing centre, The Writers’ Block and lectures in creative writing at Falmouth University.
Tickets: £8 without book (Admits One, ticket redeemable against a signed copy of The Heart of the Woods) or £17 with book (Admits One, includes a signed copy of The Heart of the Woods).

19:30 - 20:30 18th June 2024
More InformationIndependent Bookshop Week 2024
Join us for an evening with award winning comedian, quizzing mastermind and national treasure Paul Sinha as he talks about his hilarious and moving memoir One Sinha Lifetime.
As a boy, Paul struggled to find his place in a world where he didn’t quite fit. Who was he? An over-achieving schoolkid with the world’s knowledge at his fingertips? A traditional Bengali son, destined for a career in medicine that he never once craved. A young gay man yearning to breathe freely? Or was he yet another flawed human being on a self-destruct mission?
Amid life’s mayhem, it was frequently Paul’s love of facts in which he found solace, whether funding his lifestyle through quiz machines or simply trying to show off to his mates. Stumbling serendipitously into both a career in stand-up and the clandestine network of competitive quizzers introduced him to a new sense of purpose, a new identity, and, eventually, new love…
A hilarious and moving coming-of-age memoir of one man’s search for fulfilment, One Sinha Lifetime is an unconventional odyssey through love, family, and the joy of general knowledge.
Paul Sinha is a beloved and perennial favorite of the nation’s teatime, frequently attracting millions of viewers on The Chase. In recent years he has also had a scuccessful leap back onto the stand-up comedy circuit.
Don’t miss this chance to see and meet him ‘live’ in Oswestry as we celebrate the publication of One Sinha Lifetime.
Tickets: £12 without book (Admits One, ticket redeemable against a signed copy of One Sinha Lifetime) or £22 with book (Admits One, includes a signed copy of One Sinha Lifetime)
