Helen Bain is on Tuesday 23 February 2027 at All Saints Arts Centre, Lewes, with doors at 19:00. Tickets start at £6.60, including the booking fee.

Helen Bain will be talking about her debut novel, The Daffodil Days, a reimagining of the poet Sylvia Plath's life in Devon in the early 1960s. Published in 2026 by Bloomsbury Publishing, it was described by the Guardian as 'a virtuoso portrait… an astonishing achievement' and by the Mail on Sunday as 'cleverly quiet… old-fashioned and radical'.

Write Your Novel

Carnegie Library · Portsmouth

This friendly workshop with local author William Sutton will give momentum to your writing. Get a clearer idea of how to move forward. How will you tell your story? Bring a pen and an open mind. (Over a dozen authors have now been published after taking this workshop, and counting.) “Will is great teacher. I found his workshop inspiring. It was pitched at the right level for me when I was in the state of mind where I wasn’t sure if I could call myself a writer. Confidence is everything when you’re writing. His workshop helped me realise that we all have a unique voice that’s never been heard before, but no one will hear it, if you don’t just WRITE." Friday 26th February 10am-12noon: Carnegie Library Write Your Novel with William Sutton
