Patrick Gale and Petroc Trelawny in Conversation

Patrick Gale will be joined in conversation by Petroc Trelawny for a special evening event at CAST, organised with The Bookshop in Helston as part of the book tour for Gale’s newest novel Love Lane (publication date 26 March, 2026).

The book draws its title from the first address of his parents’ long and unusual marriage – a street dominated by Wakefield’s prison, in which his father was head tutor at a training school for prison officers. It portrays his parents’ then very new marriage and his grandparents’ perhaps more romantic one, but also revisits the secret marriage, first imagined in Gale’s 2015 bestseller A Place Called Winter , between his great grandfather, Harry Cane, and his husky neighbour, Paul Slaymaker. Copies of Love Lane will be available to purchase at the event and there will be an opportunity to have books signed following the talk. Thursday 2 April 2026 Tickets from £20, including CAST Café supper from 6pm The talk will begin after supper, from around 7.15pm Booking essential - https://castcornwall.art/entry/patrick-gale-and-pertoc-trelawny-in-conversation/
