Summer in Barham 2025

Our mini-festival fundraiser returns this summer from 3 – 6 July with outdoor live music to soundtrack your sunset and walks exploring Canterbury’s stunning countryside.

The event begins with two circular walks exploring the rolling hills, orchards and woodland of Bishopsbourne and Denton, just a stone’s throw from the city centre

The gates of Barham Court’s stunning gardens open from 5-6 July with two concerts to celebrate the long summer evenings. On Saturday 5 July (5pm) The Orbi Playa Big Band take to the stage with instrumental and vocal favourites from the golden era of Big Band music alongside classics by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Buble and contemporary arrangements.

Then Kent favourites Gumboots Reggae bring Summer in Barham to a close on Sunday 6 July (5pm) performing all the classics including much-loved tracks by Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker and Toots and The Maytals.

Performances at Barham Court are outdoors, so be sure to pack a picnic, blanket or camping chairs and an umbrella just in case. Raffles will be taking place on Saturday 5 July and Sunday 6 July with some fabulous prizes available – every ticket purchased will help to raise funds for the annual October Festival and charity’s year-round public engagement work.

Full details  Overview Founded in 1971 by veteran paperback editor Donald A. Wollheim, along with his wife, Elsie B. Wollheim, DAW Books was the first publishing company ever devoted exclusively to science fiction and fantasy. Now almost 50 years and two thousand titles later, DAW has a well-deserved reputation for discovering and publishing the hottest talents in the industry. Many stars of the science fiction and fantasy field made their debuts in the pages of a DAW book, including Patrick Rothfuss , Tad Williams , C. J. Cherryh , Mercedes Lackey , Kristen Britain , Melanie Rawn , C.S. Friedman , and Tanith Lee .

Full details How can I submit my idea to Quirk? We love smart, original, cool, and fun books! However, each editor has their own submissions policy, so please review their guidelines carefully. Our house policy: We only review digital queries and sample material. No physical submissions, please. Thank you for thinking of us! Who should I contact? Jhanteigh Kupihea (Editorial Director)  loves exceptionally written, high-concept adult fiction and pop-culture-driven non-fiction. If your mystery/thriller has a true-crime or feminist twist to it, send it to her! She loves horror—the more atmospheric and psychological, the better. (Not a fan of violent and gory.) She loves fun, voice-y novels for women, especially ones that focus on female friendships or subvert romantic comedy tropes. Regardless of the genre, she loves anything that breaks the mold and plays with unusual structures, so think of her for your modern update on the epistolary novel or your interacti...
