Birmingham Literature Festival
6-9 October 2022
Programme Announced
We’re back!
It’s been a hard few years for live events, but the Birmingham Literature Festival is back and we are so delighted to be here.
Packed into four days is an extraordinary range of writers who offer us the world in its many variations; also look out for events with Africa Writes and our Readers’ Day, both in November 2022.
Join us to experience great writing and to be part of the fascinating discussion.
Thank you to you, our audiences, for being part of this celebration of the power of writing.
