Gliterary Lunches, the literary events company founded by two sisters in 2006, grew out of a love for good books, good food and good company. Successfully run from Harrogate by Sibh Megson and Beth Hocking in Edinburgh, they hosted well known and award winning authors talking about their books while guests enjoyed lunch.
With the business about to go into its 15th year, Covid-19 struck and all events had to be cancelled. Undaunted, the duo launched a programme of four virtual events as a way of staying connected with customers and authors, and to lift everyone’s spirits. Thanks to an appetite for more from their customers, the Gliterary Lunch Hour was born. Customers, and even authors, are now streamed from around the world, and Sibh and Beth have noted an uptake for their virtual events in other cities including Manchester, so when in-venue events can restart, they will be expanding their programme to add this location.
