BOOKINGS are being taken for Northwich Lit Fest ahead of its return to town this summer.

Now in its seventh year, the festival sees events run across town throughout June.

Confirmed events include readings from authors and poets, as well as a radio workshop and drama performances.

Also returning for 2018 is the annual short story competition, with a £50 prize up for grabs.

The 1,000 word-limit stories must be submitted by May 11.

All events are planned for the evenings, from June 1 through to June 30.
