Heffers' 2016 Classics Forum

Heffers has been selling books in Cambridge since 1876 and is part of the fabric of the historic city centre. We pride ourselves on being a proper bookshop, packed with a vast range of titles from all kinds of subjects to explore, and with knowledgeable and friendly booksellers who are ready to offer advice and recommendations. Our literary event schedule is a busy one, with at least one event taking place most weeks throughout the year, and we are also the bookseller of choice for the Cambridge Literary Festival. Heffers also stocks an impressive range of non-book items including a fantastic selection of board games and we even run a regular games night called Board Games in the Bookshop.For more information or to sign up for our newsletter please email heffers@heffers.co.uk.

Join us on 29th October 2016 as we hear from a host of fascinating speakers from the world of Classics, including Peter Adamson, Paul Cartledge, Daisy Dunn, Adrian Goldsworthy, Edith Hall, Natalie Haynes, Gideon Nisbet, Harry Sidebottom, David Stuttard, Oliver Taplin, Jerry Toner, Anthony Verity and Tim Whitmarsh.
There will also be a balloon debate: if you had the last surviving copies of classical works in your balloon basket and the balloon was over the sea, which would you throw over the side? The Gallic War, Antigone, Epigrams, Lysistrata, Philoctetes? Each speakerin the debate will make their case and then you get to vote!
