The Chester Literature Festival comes to an end this weekend following two weeks of star names, author talks, poetry exchanges and evenings of trivia.

Star of Shaun of the Dead and Spaced, actor Nick Frost discussed his new memoir Truths, Half Truths and Little White Lies in front of a sold out house at the Town Hall.

Meanwhile libraries across the borough embarked on their county wide project, collecting people’s most treasured memories. Plus Gogglebox’s William Hartston on his new book Even More Things That Nobody Knows.
