Last year I was fortunate to attend the first Beyond the Book Festival in Brighton. It was a brilliant day; you can read my post about it here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’ve been looking forward to the 2025 festival ever since and now the full line-up has been announced for May 10th 2025, I’m even more excited!\u00a0<\/p>\n

A ticket costs just \u00a335, which is a bargain for a whole day of book events but wait! To celebrate Mother’s Day, you can currently use the promo code MOTHER5<\/b> at the checkout and get \u00a35 off! \u00a330 is unmissable so don’t hang about as this offer only lasts until 30th March.<\/p>\n

True Crimes: Story of a Murder<\/b><\/p>\n

Hallie Rubenhold (The Five: the untold lives of the women killed by Jack the Ripper) in conversation with Alex von Tunzelmann (The Lucan Obsession R4).<\/p>\n
