Portsmouth BookFest 2013’s main programme opens with Dame Jacqueline Wilson in an event at The David Russell Theatre in Portsmouth High Street to talk about her latest book Diamond.

Portsmouth BookFest is jointly organised each autumn by The Hayling Island Bookshop and Portsmouth City Library Service and Dame Jacqueline is a strong and consistent supporter of both Independent Bookshops and Library Services so we are delighted that she has agreed to support us with this event. Call us at the Bookshop to book tickets.

This year, BookFest will feature 40 authors in 27 events at 15 different locations across the city. There is an associated schools programme organised by Portsmouth School Library Service in city schools.
