RESIDENTS will be treated to visits from a host of literary and media luminaries as part of the Redbridge Book and Media Festival.
The festival begins on April 8 and will include appearances from comic poet John Hegley and Loose Women panellist Lynda Bellingham.
There will also be children's theatre productions, workshops and the launch of the "Big Red Read".
Those interested in fashion, the magazine business or photography will also be given the chance to take part in a masterclass with star stylist Denise Brown.
