Join us for a very special event to celebrate the publication of Land - the brand new novel from the bestselling author of Hamnet.
About this Event

Start your day listening to the bestselling author of Hamnet, Maggie O'Farrell, talk to Hannah MacInnes about her new book, , within the beautiful woodlands of Wasing.

A novel inspired by the wild landscape of Ireland, it is a story about love, resilience, family and place - and how layers of history change landscapes and the people who live in them.

Wasing is a venue shaped by its history, land and community, making it the perfect place to celebrate Land.

The event will feature music, food and drink, a reading and Q&A, against the natural backdrop of a unique and beautiful woodland glade overlooking the lake. Copies of Land will contain a stamped author signature exclusive to the Land tour.

The event is organised in partnership with Wasing.
