I agree there was much potential for a Literary Festival here - loads of local novelists and poets but the organisation was bizarre. No publicity to speak of and odd choices of venues. A green space in Chiswick one year and small rooms Acton the next. Was any of it actually in Ealing Center? Pitshanger Manor is surely an obvious choice for something like this but seems empty, under-used and sadly without much connection to the local community. I hope this is not the end and that the festival can be resurrected.
