Philip Pullman will be appearing at HowTheLightGetsIn, the world’s largest philosophy and music festival, in Hay-on-Wye on Sunday the 5th of June.

The Great Escape – Sunday 5th June 2011 – 4pm
 


From Narnia to Ankh-Morpork to Hogwarts, our exposure to the fantastical is soaring to new heights. Is fantasy simply an escape from a hostile world or a triumphant way of dealing with the realities of every day? Award-winning novelists Gwyneth Jones and Philip Pullman, stage and screen actress Emilia Fox and film director Mike Figgis join Andrew Copson for a journey beyond reality.
In association with the British Humanist Association.

Advance price tickets cost £6.00, Full Price tickets are £10.00. To find out more about the festival, go here. If you’re planning on attending, let us know! We’d love to hear from you.
