We’re thrilled to welcome prize-winning novelist Andrew Miller to the Custom House. Andrew will be reading from his work including his latest novel The Slowworm’s Song. He’ll also be supported on stage by a handful of talented emerging writers who will be taking part in our three-day intensive Hothouse workshop.

Over the busy three days Andrew will be supporting a selected group of writers to craft new fiction, you can find out more about how to apply for Hothouse here.
