Elizabeth Day is set to launch her new novel, One of Us, with a special event at the Chelsea Arts Festival on Sunday, 21 September 2025. The launch will take place at London’s iconic Cadogan Hall, a venue noted for its impressive cultural offerings. This celebration is part of the inaugural Chelsea Arts Festival, a three-day event running from 19 to 21 September that showcases modern storytelling through book launches, discussions, and performances across several prestigious venues in Chelsea, including the Saatchi Gallery and Royal Court Theatre.

The event, titled ‘An Afternoon with Elizabeth Day’, promises an engaging experience where attendees will gain unique insights into the inspiration behind One of Us and Elizabeth’s creative process. The author will be in conversation with guest host Marian Keyes, a well-known figure in contemporary literature, adding an extra layer of interaction and depth to the occasion. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with the themes of the novel and the author’s wider body of work. Tickets, which include a hardback copy of One of Us, are priced between £34.99 and £46.99 and can be purchased through Fane’s or Cadogan Hall’s official websites.

Elizabeth Day expressed her excitement about the event, saying, “I am so delighted to be launching my new novel with a one-off event at the Chelsea Arts Festival, in London’s iconic Cadogan Hall on Sunday 21st September in collaboration with Fane. It’s a real honour to be featured alongside such a stellar cast of cultural luminaries and I think it’s the perfect way to introduce readers to the characters and plot of One of Us. Come and join us for an entertaining Sunday afternoon, then retire to the pub for an early evening pint and roast…perfect.”

The Chelsea Arts Festival itself enjoys a distinguished lineup of cultural luminaries, including authors William Boyd, Kate Mosse, and Ian McEwan, as well as celebrated designer Dame Zandra Rhodes. This three-day event aims to bring together a diverse array of artistic expression and storytelling, fostering a vibrant cultural atmosphere across Chelsea. The festival is positioned as a fresh and dynamic addition to London’s cultural calendar, attracting both local and international audiences eager to engage with contemporary arts and literature.

Elizabeth Day’s latest novel launch not only highlights her growing literary reputation but also exemplifies the festival’s goal to spotlight modern storytelling through intimate and thoughtfully curated events. For attendees, the combination of literary discussion, personal interaction, and the backdrop of Chelsea’s artistic heritage promises a rich and memorable cultural experience.
