SWINDON FESTIVAL OF LITERATURE presents . . .
In partnership with Artswords and a number of other super-supportive organisations and friends in Swindon, the next Swindon Festival of Literature is looking forward to presenting a series of wide-ranging Swindon-centred literature and arts events from 6th to 12th May 2024.
These are likely to include LitFest standing dishes such as the ever-popular Dawn Chorus (6th May) and fabulous Festival Finale (12th May); a series of fascinating Author Talks and Presentations at the Arts Centre, in Waterstones Bookshop, in Bert’s Bookshop, and at Swindon Central Library; a selection of Artswords Writing Workshops; a Poetry in the Park Day and Poetry Performance/Reading event (8th May); a second Flash Fiction Slam; a new Film night; intriguing Story-walks and Story-telling events; a make-your-own Book Binding Course (11th May); and a brimful Children & Families Activities Day at Lower Shaw Farm (12th May).
On Bank Holiday Monday 6th May, the Festival is particularly excited to be supporting and helping to promote a brand-new one-day all-day circus and outdoor arts festival in Lawn Woods, especially for Swindon. Full details to follow!
If you have any author requests, performance suggestions, or brilliant literature-linked ideas,
