The first of a new series of digital anthologies from Flax Books, the publishing imprint of Litfest.

The weekly podcasts feature extracts of short fictions from writers across Lancashire and Cumbria, and include tales of ghosts, guns and Walt Disney, in an audio experience that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Selected from an international open call, an evening of artists’ short films made using 3D graphic creation software or screened using 3D presentation technology.

Venue: The Gregson, 33 Moorgate, Lancaster, LA1 3PY, 01524 849959
