SWINDON FESTIVAL OF LITERATURE 2025
The next Swindon Festival of Literature will take place from 5th to 11th May 2025.
It will present a wide range of Literature-linked events, in Swindon, including LitFest standing dishes such as the ever-popular Dawn Chorus (5th May) and fabulous Festival Finale (11th May); a series of fascinating Author Talks and presentations at the Arts Centre, at the town’s bookshops, libraries, and Lower Shaw Farm.
