This bright afternoon sees the launch of three new Flax publications from Litfest. Why not escape town for an hour or so to enjoy some quality entertainment?

Flash Mob, Flax026 is an electric collection of super short stories that will take you through the past to future, from domestic dramas to surreal visitations, and have you swinging between laughter and wistfulness. Featuring new work from Jane Eagland, Claire Massey, Kevin McCann, Norman Hadley, Carla Scarano D’Antonio, Carys Bray, Clare Kirwan, Mollie Baxter, David Hartley, Benjamin Judge and Steve Waling

We’re also launching A Book Tale, Flax027, an ebook of the wonderful contemporary fairy tale by Claire Massey, with another outing for that fabulous dress…

And throughout it all, Flax028 will be running in an inside out garden shed, a new commission from Maya Chowdhry, with help from a few other Flax026ers … a stop-motion haiku … come along to watch the weird wonderfulness of growth.

As usual there’ll be a warm welcome, drinks and nibbles to keep the energy of the afternoon flowing.
