We’re delighted to announce the first events in this year’s Penarth Lit Fest programme; packed with standout events across fiction, non-fiction and poetry, we have something to inspire readers of every taste.

The Festival will take place over the weekend of Friday 19 to Sunday 21 June at Belle Vue Pavilion in Penarth’s gorgeous Belle Vue Park, just a stone’s throw from the bookshop.

We still have a few more surprises up our bookseller sleeves – including workshops for adults and events for children – so keep an eye on our socials for more updates.

Tickets are now on sale for individual events. We’ve also launched a new Festival Weekend Pass for our most committed event-goers, which offers access to every event, along with a few exclusive bookish perks, all at a special price. What’s not to love!
