WIMBLEDON EVENTS

Wimbledon BookFest’s second multi-day festival of the year, featuring more than 40 talks, discussions and activities. Latest additions to the programme include: wry conversation with Gyles Brandreth and David Wood; stand-up comedy from Sindhu Vee; and a free screening of Ethel & Ernest, the 2016 film based on the life of Wimbledon-raised graphic novelist Raymond Briggs. They join a line-up that includes bestselling author Kit de Waal; actor Dame Sheila Hancock; BBC Middle East correspondent Jeremey Bowen; broadcaster Mariella Frostrup; and children’s writer Michael Morpurgo, who teams up with members of the musical Kanneh-Mason Family for a unique storytelling-and-music experience based on Carnival of the Animals
