About this event

To launch the start of the festive season, Blackwell's is delighted to announce our annual Yule Fest event, featuring a line-up of superb authors who will be joining us across the weekend on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th December. Our guest speakers will be introducing their books throughout the day in free 45 minute talks, followed by a signing after offering the opportunity to purchase a special signed book. Booksellers will be spreading the festive cheer with complimentary mince pies alongside offering support to help you find the perfect Christmas present.

For the full weekend programme, please scroll down to the bottom of this page.

Blackwell's is delighted to be celebrating the launch of Peculiar Press's first publication 'Castle of No Return', written by Laura Gonzalez and illustrated Patricia Corrales. Join us for a special story time reading in our Children's Department.

Espi and Pina are two sisters line no others. Born from a fishbone and ready for noble quests, they'll help children and adults alike to enjoy learning languages. In this bilingual edition for A2 readers the sisters will explore the 'Castle of No Return', giving a new twist to the beloved Spanish traditional tale.

This event is free and everyone is welcomed to join us in celebration. For all enquiries please email events.oxford@blackwell.co.uk or call our Customer Service Department on 01865 333623.
