Dinner Smile

Lunch and Dinner Meet-ups

Networking with like-minded authors

Meet and eat with other writers at meal times. Collaborate, connect or just have a chin-wag with other festival attendees whilst supporting Bournemouth's independent restaurants.

A volunteer host will be at each venue between 12pm & 2pm for lunch and 5pm & 7pm for dinners.

Please RSVP so we can inform the restaurants. We are not taking pre-payments but if you RSVP please show up!
