A NEARLY INFALLIBLE HISTORY OF THE REFORMATION NICK PAGE To mark the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation prolific author, speaker and applied ranter Nick Page has written a book on the subject. Nick brings his skills as an unlicensed historian to bear on this key period in European (and world) history in order to uncover everything you need to know about the Reformation - with a fair few bits you never wanted to know thrown in for good measure. In-depth research, historical analysis and cutting-edge guesswork combine to scintillating effect in this fast-moving examination of the strange and wonderful whirlwind that was church life in late medieval Europe. 4.30PM // £6 | £4 // CRESCENT ARTS A POETRY READING WITH ANDY EATON AND TESS TAYLOR Andy Eaton’s first pamphlet Sprung Nocturne was published by The Lifeboat Press in 2016.
