A Reading at the End of the World gathers writers exploring the apocalyptic and the cataclysmic – focusing on the question of what comes next? From climate fiction and memoirs of present-day activism to poems of zombie hordes and tongue-in-cheek survival guides, this event is a space to reflect, imagine, and create amidst chaos.

Free to attend, but bookings are essential.
