The Penarth Literary Festival will return this summer with a new format and a brand new home! 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’re thrilled to unveil this year’s programme, packed with standout events across fiction, non-fiction and poetry, with something to inspire readers of every taste. We will be announcing our morning workshops and events for children soon, so keep an eye on our website and socials for announcements.

For our most committed event-goers our fabulous new Festival Weekend Pass offers access to every event, along with a few exclusive bookish perks, all at a special price.
