Bath Literature Festival

One of the UK's best known festivals for stimulating debate, lively conversation and fascinating authors insights.

Taking place annually over 9 days in February/March, and using The Guildhall in Bath as its base, the Festival seeks to make you think whilst it entertains, with unique events pairing like-minded authors, dynamic debates on topical issues, and specially commissioned work by leading contemporary writers.

Come to the Festival to be inspired, to enter the debates, to sit back and listen, and to participate in the many workshops and interactive experiences on offer. Highlights of the 2009 Festival include Joan Bakewell, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, Chris Patten, Jenni Murray, Alexander McCall Smith, George Monbiot, A C Grayling and Wendy Cope. There’s also a great range of family events taking place in the brand new Festival Hub.

The 2009 Bath Literature Festival takes place on Saturday 28 February to Sunday 9th March 2009. Mr B's Emporium of Reading Delights will be the official bookseller at the 2009 Bath Literature Festival.
