The Small Wonder Festival in October brings together leading and emerging voices in art and literature.
The festival will feature 20 live events and workshops in the Hay Barn at Charleston and is the only festival in the UK dedicated to short form writing.
Musician and feminist Peaches will be discussing the creative process behind her boundary-pushing lyrics. With five studio albums, her bold and sexually progressive lyrics have tackled subjects including gender politics and sexual identity.
Food writer Claudia Roden will be delving into the storytelling power of recipes.
Acclaimed novelist and journalist Will Self will be among those reflecting on the relationship between walking and writing.
One of British literature's most exciting new voices Natasha Brown will be discussing the line between fiction and lived experience and her award-winning debut novel Assembly.
Best known as Vic Reeves, Jim Moir originally set out to be an artist and it remains his first love. He'll be discussing his latest publication Birds: Paintings of 100 British Birds.
The festival takes place from 13 - 16 October and tickets are available from charleston.org.uk/festival
