Marlborough LitFest at St Peter’s.

September 28 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

St Peter’s are delighted to be partnering with Marlborough LitFest 2025!

Please see the list below of the inspiring authors joining us at St Peters. Full details can be found HERE 

The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller is set during the freezing winter of 1963 and follows two couples as their lives begin to fall apart. It’s a quiet, powerful story about relationships under pressure. Miller says he aims to capture the full human experience without forcing a message—and critics agree, with The Guardian calling it possibly his best work yet.

Summer Rolls by Tuyên Đỗ is a powerful family drama set in 1990s London. It follows Mai, a British-Vietnamese teen navigating two cultures and clashing with her protective mother, Trinh, a refugee from war-torn Vietnam. Đỗ explores identity, generational conflict, and the legacy of the Vietnam War in a story praised as poetic, nuanced, and deeply moving.
Church Going by Andrew Ziminski is a lively and insightful look at the architecture of British and Irish churches, from lychgates to crypts. Drawing on his experience as a stonemason, Ziminski explores medieval churches with warmth and humor. Packed with illustrations, it’s a charming guide to our religious heritage—complete with some unforgettable details (like the Sheela-na-gig).
Hollow Grave is the latest in Kate Webb’s gripping Wiltshire-based crime series featuring DI Matt Lockyer and DC Gemma Broad. This time, they investigate the 1999 disappearance of a woman from an archaeological dig. As always, Lockyer’s own past looms large. Webb, also known for her bestselling historical novels under the name Katherine Webb, has been praised as a standout new voice in crime fiction.

Logging Off by Adele Zeynep Walton is a powerful critique of our digital world. Drawing from personal tragedy and her experience as a Gen Z journalist, Walton explores how social media harms us while tech companies profit. The book offers both a warning and a guide to reclaiming a healthier, more humane digital future. Walton is also a campaigner for online safety and co-founder of the Logging Off Club, promoting real-world connection.

Gift Aid Declaration

Thank you so much for donating to St Peter’s and St Paul’s Marlborough Trust. Your support is helping us to raise vital funds in order to preserve this building of significant historic interest and to provide a centre for the community to explore its history and enjoy its space.

If you sign up to Gift Aid, a tax relief allowing UK charities to reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation made by a UK taxpayer, it means that without donating a penny extra, you're helping us keep St Peter's Church open for years to come.

There are a couple of reasons that may affect our ability to reclaim that extra money, so please contact us within 21 days if:
You expect to pay less than your Gift Aid value, in UK income and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current year, or your personal details, such as name and address have changed.

If you have not paid enough tax to meet the Gift Aid claimed by St Peter’s and St Paul’s Marlborough Trust and have not notified us of this, HMRC may seek to recover this sum from you directly, as it is your responsibility to pay any difference. You can get in touch with us on contact@stpetersmarlborough.org.uk if you have any questions.
