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.

 

Legendary Hacienda DJ, author and music journalist Dave Haslam presents an evening dedicated to one of the mightiest and most distinctive Manchester bands, The Fall. Dave will discuss the many ins, outs, highs and lows of the band in a conversation with former members Paul and Steve Hanley along with music memoirist and personal friend of Mark E Smith, Graham Duff.
