about us

The Stratford upon Avon Literary Festival was set up in 2008 by two women, Annie Ashworth and Natasha Roderick-Jones, to fill a gap in this world famous town for literary and book events which compliment the Shakespearen offering.

The Festival offers an opportunity for people to meet their favourite authors and celebrities, but also provides the chance to learn new skills and offers advice to those wanting to pursue a career in writing.

The Festival has an extensive community programme and one of the biggest educational and schools programmes of any literary festival.

We also aim to have great fun doing it!
