Bryony grew up in Gloucestershire and started working for the Three Choirs Festival at the end of 2022. She studied English at university and continues to read a vast number of books a year, although she admits to collecting books faster than she can read them. She puts her knowledge to use in her work at a bookshop, which she continues to do for one day a week.

When she’s not reading, cooking or eating, Bryony can be found surrounded by craft supplies and her two cats. She loves crocheting blankets and has recently started making her own clothes.
