Clear your diaries - Bookfest returns 20–28 September 2025

Following the success of 2024, we are returning for 2025. This year's festival is from 20–28 September 2025.

Bookended by two weekends of events, our programme will feature events for children, teenagers, and adults held in variety of venues around the town, including a schools-specific programme. Sign up to our mailing list or follow us on Instagram or Facebook for updates and sneak previews.

The full programme will be announced in summer 2025, with tickets going on sale at the same time.
