We hope you all had a lovely summer, whether home or away and if away we welcome you back with a jam-packed programme of events of book clubs, a brand new creative writing course, a first ever appearance at Chapters Unplugged of an exciting singer songwriter all the way from Newfoundland, Canada and another ‘Lazy Sunday’ session of words & music. We look forward to seeing you at some or all events.
Canadian singer songwriter to visit Chapters
We’re excited to welcome award winning Canadian singer songwriter Andrew Rodgers to Chapters Unplugged on Friday 25th September
This is Andrew’s first ever tour of the UK & Ireland and he has a special reason for starting off in Kent. His great grandmother was a war bride from Kent and a new documentary, for which Andrew has written and performed a new song, is about to be released (It’s live UK debut will be at Chapters 🙂)
Tickets are available in Chapters or online here

September Book of the Month
Foster by Claire Keegan
We love this book SO much. Beautifully written it tells the simple story of a ‘quiet girl’ in rural Ireland. Poignant and heart wrenching yet also wonderfully uplifting. we’re sure that like us, you’ll love it. Available in-store and also at our online shop here

Fantastic event with award winning Australian author, Kate Forsyth on Sunday 4th of October. We are so excited to host Kate as part of her UK tour, to hear about the folklore of fairytales and delve into her magical world of writing.
