Gripping young adults author, Emma Carroll, sweeps you back in time with her evocative Second World War novel, Letters from the Lighthouse.

Green Fingers and Great Reads
Monday April 23, 4.30pm
Bellis Brothers Restaurant, Holt
A panel of celebrated local gardeners talk about their favourite garden related books, and about Wrexham’s great gardening and heritage and projects, as well as answering some or all of your gardening questions – with a mulch of fine poetry applied for good measure by panel chairperson, Peter Read!
Cllr Hugh Jones, Lead Member for Communities, Partnerships, Public Protection and Community Safety, said: “This is a fantastic series of events which has already seen some being sold out. The carnival also highlights some of the fantastic venues we have in Wrexham with events taking place at Ty Pawb, Glyndwr University, Saith Seren, St Giles Church and Wrexham Library. I would like to encourage anyone who loves books and writing to come and join us during the week.”
Wrexham Carnival of Words has been a resounding success since it was first held in 2015, with an increasing range of events, which have proved popular with local people.
Ticket prices vary but many events are free. You can buy them from Wrexham Library or online via the Wrexham Council website. More details and the full programme can be found on www.carnivalofwords.com or follow the Festival Facebook and twitter, #WrexhamCarnivalofWords.
