- **Event Description**: Join us for Folkestone Book Festival 2026 and step into a world of stories that can shift perspectives and open new ways of connecting.

Building on the brave, intimate and slightly unhinged energy of 2025, we are preparing for another 11 days of creative spark and meaningful connection. From Thursday 12 to Sunday 22 November 2026, Folkestone will once again become a town alive with storytelling.

Festival curator Sophie Haydock is already shaping a programme that is ambitious, bold and transformative. Expanding on the “confessional, curious and connective” spirit of recent years, the 2026 festival invites you to step into other people’s worlds and explore new ideas, big and small.

Whether you are here for world-class headliners, the electric Local Authors Showcase, or the inspiring Primary School Series, there is a place for you in our community. We are proud to keep pushing boundaries while championing Folkestone as a leading destination for creativity.

Expect a festival that lives beyond the stage, in foyers, queues and those unexpected conversations that stay with you long after an event ends.

Come with curiosity. Leave transformed.

Tickets are on sale now from as little as £5.
