Nottingham's very own Booker-longlisted novelist Alison Moore (The Lighthouse) will be launching the city's first ever Festival of Words at Antenna on Wednesday 12 September. The night will provide a preview of the Festival programme, which will bring around 100 events and activities to Nottingham over the course of two weeks in February 2013.

Carcanet poet Greg Woods and TV scriptwriter Stephen Lowe will be making appearances on the night, alongside Mouthy Poets, Little Gem storytellers, and Punjabi writer Santokh Dhaliwal. There’ll be spooky storytelling, a new take on the Egyptian revolution, Americana band Border Crossings, and live poster art by Sue Bulmer. We’ll also be announcing the new Nottingham Lace Competition, which will encourage children and young people to get writing and think creatively about their city.
