Tickets

General Admission

E-Ticket

The pandemic saw most of us in a communally self-reflective mood. With fewer distractions, a record number of people started looking inside and starting to tackle long-held beliefs, process childhood trauma or just re-tell their own personal stories. This year’s Gala shows us how powerful owning your own story can be and how it can have a ripple effect on others and their own lives. Hosted by author - and former deputy director of English PEN - Catherine Taylor, we feature a series of writers who, through various routes, teach us about how the highs, lows, disappointments and anecdotes of our family stories can help us navigate the world in a more meaningful way and bring us closer to those around us.

Ticket includes entry to a disco under the glitterball. We just thought it would be nice to have a boogie.

£8.00 + £0.80 handling

Hosted by author - and former deputy director of English PEN - Catherine Taylor, we feature a series of writers who, through various routes, teach us about how the highs, lows, disappointments and anecdotes of our own stories can help us navigate the world in a more meaningful way and bring us closer to those around us. Featuring Jeffrey Boakye (I Heard What You Said and Black, Listed), Sylvia Patterson (Same Old Girl and I’m Not With the Band), Tom Mitchelson (Don’t Ask Me About My Dad) and Harriet Gibsone (Is This OK? One Woman's Search For Connection Online). We'll be talking about cancer, toxic relationships, the Black educational experience and online obsessions, sure, but we promise we'll have fun doing so.

Ticket includes entry to a post-event disco & DJ set.

What is the Handling Charge for?

To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, Stoke Newington Literary Festival generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.

When you purchase tickets through Stoke Newington Literary Festival, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
