Blanchards Bailey Embraces the Literary Spirit: Sponsored Renowned Author Tracy Chevalier at the Dorchester Literary Festival 2024

Blanchards Bailey was proud to sponsor acclaimed author Tracy Chevalier at the Dorchester Literary Festival 2024. As a firm deeply rooted in the South West, we are dedicated to supporting the region’s vibrant literary community, and this partnership fit perfectly with many of our team's passion for literature.  

Tracy Chevalier, best known for her best-selling novel Girl with a Pearl Earring, was a featured speaker at the festival, where she introduced her latest work  - The Glassmaker. Her compelling storytelling has captivated readers and inspired aspiring writers and literature enthusiasts in the UK. 

The Dorchester Literary Festival, which took place from 12 to 16 October 2024, is a premier event celebrating authors, books and the art of the written word. The festival's growing prominence reflects our community's increasing interest in literature. Blanchards Bailey supported this celebration by sponsoring this event while encouraging dialogue around literary arts in Dorset and beyond.

The collaboration with Tracy Chevalier at this year's Dorchester Literary Festival reflected our ongoing commitment to enriching local culture and supporting literature and the arts. We were delighted to share this wonderful event with our local community.
