A town's festival is back for the 32nd year in a row.
The seven day Swindon Festival of Literature begins on Monday and runs until Sunday, with events ranging from readings to open-air festival style performance art.
It has run since 1994, including a virtual festival in 2020 because of Covid-19, and focused on not only literature, but performance and art.
Professor Richard Dawkins, poet George Szirtes and impressionist Alistair McGowan were among the names set to appear.
