Spreading the Word
Since 2008 we’ve been bringing you an exciting mixture of debate, ideas, celebrity author events, workshops and humour in spring and autumn. We’re also a charity promoting the benefits of reading and writing for education, literacy and wellbeing with activities and workshops in schools, the community and prisons.
The Festival is one of the most significant literary festivals in the UK, attracting thousands of people to the world-famous literary town of Stratford-upon-Avon, all of whom share one passion: a love of books, writing and reading.
