Join us for a special evening with bestselling author Veronica Henry, celebrating the publication of her new novel The Invitation, hosted in the beautiful surroundings of Longstock Park Farm Shop on the Leckford Estate.
Presented by Leckford Estate in Partnership with Tea Leaves & Reads, the evening begins when doors open at 6:30pm, giving you time to settle in, browse, and enjoy something delicious. Sweet treats, hot drinks, and a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be available to purchase before the event begins.
Shortly after 7pm, Veronica Henry will be interviewed by Nikki Moore and they will discuss The Invitation, writing life, and the stories behind Veronica’s much-loved novels. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session, offering the chance to ask your burning questions, and a meet-and-greet where books purchased from Tea Leaves & Reads will be signed and dedicated.
Tickets are £5, or free when purchasing the book/ticket option at £15.99 (The Invitation, RRP £16.99). A small pop-up bookshop will be available with additional titles by Veronica Henry, alongside a selection of bookish gifts, and guests are also welcome to browse the Farm Shop during the evening.
