Countdown Queen of Dictionary Corner Susie Dent’s fundraiser for Newbury’s Watermill

Author and renowned lexicographer Susie Dent – the oracle in the Dictionary Corner on Channel 4’s Countdown – is coming to town to help raise funds for The Watermill.

She will be ‘In Conversation’ with radio broadcaster Hannah MacInnes about her first crime novel, Guilty by Definition.

The event is being run in partnership with Hungerford Bookshop.

Susie’s book is perfect for fans of Richard Osman and the Reverend Richard Coles, as a series of mysterious letters lead a group of lexicographers in Oxford on the search for a missing woman...

By attending this fundraising event, at 6pm on Sunday, April 13, not only will you be part of a unique conversation with the Queen of Dictionary Corner in the beautifully intimate setting of The Watermill, but you will be supporting them in creating exceptional shows and making a real difference in our local community. As a registered charity they rely on our support now more than ever.

After the event, Susie will be signing books by the Lily Pond.

General booking opens on Friday at 1pm, having already opened earlier this week for members.

Tickets, from £29.99, include a copy of Guilty by Definition, and there is a ticket only option from £20.
Books will be available to purchase on the day at £9.99.
Running time approximately 90 minutes.
