Stroud Book Festival Programme Director Caroline Sanderson said: “Stroud Book Festival would like to say an enormous thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s celebration of stories, ideas and community for readers of all ages happen. This includes our sponsors and supporters, our venues, all our authors and chairs, the local venues which provided hospitality to our visiting authors, Stroud Bookshop & the Yellow Lighted Bookshop, and our magnificent team of Festival volunteers.
“Most of all we would like to thank our wonderful audiences who so loyally support what we do. Stroud Book Festival is a massive and costly undertaking, and everyone who bought a ticket has helped make it possible. Thank you, readers of Stroud.”
