Jimmy McGovern event Talking Time at Calderstones Mansion in Liverpool. Plenty of places left for online live streaming.

Taking its theme from writer, Jeanette Winterson, who wrote: ‘Inside books there is perfect space and it is that space which allows the reader to deal with the normal problems of gravity,' the hybrid literature and wellbeing festival aims to create a place where the serious problems of life can be spoken about, cried over and laughed at.
