Due to the ongoing situation with  COVID-19, this event has been cancelled.  Words Weekend Artistic Director Beth Gallimore’s statement reads:

It is with huge sadness that we have taken the decision to cancel Words Weekend at The Lowry following the escalation of COVID-19 in Europe. Although this is an incredibly difficult decision, the health of authors and audiences must be the priority.

The cancellation of London Book Fair was an early indicator of the impact COVID-19 would have on our industry, and given the fast-changing nature of the situation, we feel we must act quickly and decisively.

All ticket holders will be contacted directly by the venue.

We will be pressing ahead with our plans for Bury St Edmunds in May, our spring 2021 festival at Sage Gateshead, and hope to plan another festival at The Lowry in the future.

 

We are living in a time where glossy magazines, Photoshop, social media and dating apps have led us to believe that we are never enough, taking a real toll on our mental health and self-esteem. Insecurities exist in us all and adversity in life is unavoidable, but how can it be managed?

Activist and burn-victim advocate Katie Piper discusses her own battles with anxiety in an intimate conversation event. Sharing her inspiring story, Katie discusses techniques and practices which have helped her overcome anxiety’s crippling clutches. No matter how big or small our challenges might seem, Katie argues there is always a confident way forward.
