Event Details

Our names are so mundane that we barely notice them. Yet each contains countless stories of tradition and belonging – be that a legacy of colonialism or persecution, the desire to fit in, or the complex cultural inheritance from one’s parents.

Sheela Banerjee (New Statesman Book of the Year What's In a Name?) and Lucy Fulford (The Exiled) talk to writer and activist Pavan Amara about empire, immigration and race and discuss the complex and multi-layered stories of their own names in a fascinating discussion about identity and belonging.

The Newington Green Meeting House/New Unity is proud to host Stoke Newington Lit Fest. As a venue, it does not endorse any of the specific views expressed by the organisations we host.

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.
