The UK boasts an enormous number of book festivals. In fact, there are almost enough for you to visit a literary event every 3 days each calendar year!

But where do you start? With so many book festivals dotted around the UK, all varying in size, price, and genre – it’s pretty overwhelming.

You’ve probably heard of the larger events like Hay Festival and Cheltenham Literature Festival, but what about some of the smaller successes like Derby Book Festival?

This growing page is designed to list every single literary festival in the UK calendar. And so whether you’re a book festival veteran or trying to pick your first, I hope you find it helpful.
