Creative Folkestone Book Festival: Dominic Gregory: Courage, Crisis & the Kent Coast

Dominic Gregory discusses his book *Lifeboat at the End of the World* in a conversation exploring courage, teamwork and moral clarity under pressure. Drawing on his experience as a volunteer RNLI crew member in Dungeness, he offers a frontline perspective on life on the English Channel, where rescue and risk sit side by side with extraordinary human drama.

The event is chaired by Folkestone-based open water swimming coach Kirsty Hogben, who brings a strong local connection to the Kent coast and its waters. It is presented as part of Folkestone Book Festival and is followed by a book signing, making it an opportunity for audiences to hear directly from the author and take part in a wider celebration of stories, ideas and conversation by the sea.
