Event Details

Aged 4 - 11. Well-behaved parents welcome if accompanied by a child.

Best-selling author and real-live vet, Gill has joined up with philosopher and academic, Beth Mackintosh for a philosophy, storytelling and arts session.

It is a WONDERFUL opportunity to learn about seals, seabirds, stories and how this links to philosophy. An opportunity for some arts and crafts too!

Gill will talk a bit about her background as a vet and then as an author and the inspiration for her writing. Drawing on her Island Vet series, she will explain about how living with animals is wonderful, but has challenges. This is where Beth comes in with some philosophy and an introduction to a philosopher called Mary Midgley who wrote about mixed human-animal communities and how we can find ways of being together.

There is a chance to create an island of our own, to learn about seals and to create some colourful maps! There will also be time to listen to some of Gill’s stories and some philosophical 'stories for thinking' from Beth.

What is the Handling Charge for?

To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, Llangwm Lit Fest generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.

When you purchase tickets through Llangwm Lit Fest, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
