Author Event: Judith Heneghan

Judith Heneghan grew up in Hampshire and read History at the University of York before living and working in a community for people with learning differences near Dover. Later, after several years as a commissioning editor, she spent time in Kiev, Moscow and Islamabad before settling in Winchester with her four children. She has a doctorate in Creative Arts and has written extensively for young people. She now lectures in creative writing and leads the MA Creative Writing programme at the University of Winchester.

Snegurochka is her first novel for adults. BIRDEYE, her second is published on the 15th May 2024.

‘With luminous prose, infinite humanity and exceptional storytelling, Heneghan shows us family – whether chosen or given – in all its fascinating complexity. Evocative, haunting, masterful.’ —Claire Fuller

Birdeye shows us what the hippy dream looks like fifty years on, when the secrets which were masked by free spirit and a determined nonconformism force their way to the surface.

Tickets available.

Live Music with DAN WHITLAM

Dan Whitlam is a poet, spoken word artist, rapper and actor from South London. He has gained notoriety from his music videos on TikTok which narrate the lives of 20-somethings through spoken word and rap. His soulful voice and poignant lyrics have quickly made him one-to-watch.

His poetry has been featured on BBC Radio 4, Radio 1 and Radio London as well as in a series of successful shows performed in venues around London.
