off the shelf Festival of writing & reading 

Off the Shelf is one of the North's biggest and most popular festivals. In 2009 Showroom was once again delighted to work in collaboration with Off the Shelf to host an exciting and extensive programme of guest speakers including: Hilary Mantel discussing her 2009 Booker prize-winning novel Wolf Hall, an exploration of the dynamics within the court of Henry VIII in the 1520s; award-winning Sheffield author Marina Lewycka discussing her new novel We are All Made of Glue and Booker prize-winning author Ben Okri reading from his latest book Tales of Freedom, in which he brings story and poetry together in a fascinating new form.
