HEREAFTER (BOOK LAUNCH)

We are disappointed to announce that, owing to an unforeseen production error with our printers, the arrival of Hereafter edited by Simon Moretti has been delayed. As a consequence, the book launch and readings scheduled for Thurs 12 June 2025 (tomorrow) have been postponed until further notice.

However, the Swedenborg House premises will remain open until 8pm for anyone who wants to see the exhibition Hereafter, and we will be offering a free glass of wine to all present.

Again, we would like to extend our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience and disappointment this may cause.

With our best wishes,

Swedenborg House
