WRITE Festival

We are excited for the return of our sixth WRITE Festival! This year, our jam-packed programme of events will take place across the whole month of September.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our last two festivals have been delivered differently, with a lot of events taking place online. This year, we look forward to welcoming you all back to The Word, and our other library venues, to enjoy a range of unmissable events, workshops, and performances.

We will be welcoming back some of familiar faces as well as introducing some newcomers to the festival. There will be a fantastic selection of author talks including bestselling authors LJ Ross, M.W Craven, and Ann Cleeves in conversation with Julia Chapman. There will also be a performance from Gerald Dickens, a presentation from costume historian and dressmaker Meridith Towne, plus a dinosaur appearance for children and so much more!

If you’re a writer or an aspiring writer, we have lots of workshops for you too! Whether you want feedback on your writing or want to find out more about being published, there will be the opportunity to get tips and advice from some industry insiders.

WRITE Festival is always hugely popular so make sure you book your tickets today so you don’t miss out!
