My sincerest thanks to everyone who helped make the Wolf Hall Weekend at Cadhay House in Devon such a remarkable success. Here’s a sample of the unsolicited feedback that filled my inbox over the last 2 weeks since the event wolfhallweekend/praise.

Thanks to everyone who attended and supported our celebration of the life and work of Dame Hilary Mantel and her Wolf Hall Trilogy. Your enthusiasm and participation was essential for the event’s success and you brought that with you in spades!

Thanks to all the speakers and panel members, your commitment to excellence and your devotion to Hilary made it a truly memorable weekend. The depth of scholarship, the openness about your relationship to Hilary, the quality of the work, and performances were outstanding. Congratulations to you all!

If you have photos of the event or related posts you’d like to share, add the hashtag #WolfHallWeekend on your social media, we’d love to see them!

We are also actively continuing the legacy of the late Dame Hilary Mantel, the conversations, updates on all things Thomas Cromwell (Wolf Hall TV series Season 2 arriving soon!), and news from our “Friends of Wolf Hall Weekend” in our growing network, which you can subscribe to here: https://wolfhallweekend.substack.com.

Finally, but not least, my thanks to my family, and our friends from the Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival for their amazing efforts keeping us fed and watered. We were truly cared for. Thanks to Rupert Thistlethwaite and his team at Cadhay for making us so welcome in their beautiful home and grounds.

We are hoping to repeat this experience in the summer of 2026 in New York City, USA. If you would like to be kept in the loop, please add your email address here:

We’ll keep you informed as things progress and as soon as we have a date and venue – we’ll let you know.
