Discover Festival 2012 - latest news!

[Alex Davis]

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to pass on the very latest news on this year's Discover Festival, which runs at the fabulous Snibston Discovery Museum in Coalville, Leicestershire from 18th-20th May.

We've got our first sneak peek at the schedule, which has just gone on the blog today at http://discoverevent2012.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/discover-festival-schedule-sneak-peek.html - loads of great events going on over the weekend, including a host of panels, reading, workshops, films and much more!

We also have SATURDAY ONLY tickets on sale for the first time - so now you can either attend the whole weekend for £45, or come along for the Saturday for just £30!

With Guests of Honour GRAHAM MASTERTON, PETER F HAMILTON and JON COURTENAY GRIMWOOD, plus more than 20 other writers taking, it should be a fantastic weekend!

For all the latest info, you can visit www.discoverfestival.co.uk, or to book you can head to http://www.discoverfestival.co.uk/#/booking/4558412914

Any questions at all, just drop me a line here or at discoverevent@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks a lot!

Alex

Looking forward to this. Should be a fun weekend!

Same here - I'm completely addicted to cons now. I blame Juliet McKenna for prodding me into going, and Ian here for organising such a fab one that I wanted to go to more

I heard from Chris Teague of Pendragon Press (via his Twitter account) that the Discover Festival has been cancelled. Anyone know if that's true or not? If it is, it's a great shame.

 

[Ian Whates]

Yes, Patrick. Unfortunately it has been. I agree - a great shame. I was looking forward to it.

When's the next NewCon then...?
