The Newark Book Festival team and volunteers are back at the Palace Theatre Foyer with stacks of books and jigsaws ready for a brand new home.

The book swaps are simple! Just bring a few of your already-read books and old jigsaws that are ready for a new player, and swap them directly for something new! If you don’t have a book or jigsaw to swap, you can still go home with handfuls of your new favourite reads by making a donation to the festival.

Plus, today is the launch day of the Newark Book Festival programme and festival event tickets are live! Pick up a copy of the festival programme and book the events you want to attend this summer.
