Brewin Dolphin helps literature lovers get back to nature

The popularity of nature writing in the UK will be celebrated by Marlborough Literature Festival this summer, in an event sponsored by wealth management company Brewin Dolphin.

Litfest Goes Wild features a raft of nature and gardening writers including Chelsea garden designer Rosy Hardy, 2015 Wainwright Prize for Nature and Travel Writing winner John Lewis-Stempel, The Otter’s Tale author Simon Cooper, and former National Trust and CPRE director general Dame Fiona Reynolds.

The event – for which tickets go on sale today (Thursday) priced £10 per talk at www.marlboroughlitfest.org – takes place at Marlborough’s independent White Horse Bookshop on Saturday, June 3 ahead of the Lit Fest proper, which runs from September 28 to October 1.
