  • Katie Carr

    Pickering Book Tree 43a Market Place, Pickering

    Join us for a captivating evening in conversation with Katie Carr, when she will discuss her forthcoming memoir Thundery at Times. Katie’s story is beautifully realised on the page — she has created a hopeful and honest, yet uplifting account, of her attempt to finish the challenge left to her by her brother Toby, whose story is so poignantly told in her first book Moderate Becoming Good Later.

  • Midsummer Festival: Wyl Menmuir

    Pickering Midsummer Festival 2026
    Pickering Book Tree 43a Market Place, Pickering

    From the lonely heights of mountains to the womblike depths of caves, from sacred monuments and pilgrimage sites, to art made by our Neolithic ancestors and today's sculptors, stone has always drawn us in. In The Spirit of Stone, Wyl Menmuir brings together social history, folklore and encounters with the landscapes to explore the many ways in which rock and earth ground us and form part of our identities, histories and futures.
