Im wondering about going to the Winchester Literary Festival this year in June but its very expensive! What are your opinions on whether it will be worthwhile or just another way of getting money out of desperate people?

Good for Margaret Atwood! I'm a vegetarian so that was of no relevance to me whatsoever.

Hello Haley,

I once went to the Winchester festival! Winchester University is like a rabbit warren and you need more than a map to get you by. A satnav would be useful. I expect it has changed a lot and I know people who go back year upon year but getting to the appropriate place on time is a nightmare. If you have travelling expenses to consider as well I wouldn't even consider it although they always have good speakers.

best wishes,

rosa.
