- **Event Description**: Welcome to North London Book Festival 2026 – a vibrant literary gathering featuring debut and iconic authors across multiple stages at Alexandra Palace. Expect an inspiring mix of readings, panel discussions, Q&amp;As, workshops, and book signings. It’s a true marketplace of stories for every genre and every reader.

This year we are thrilled to welcome back audience favourites Laura Bates, Natalie Haynes, and Michael Rosen, who captivated crowds in 2024. Joining them are an exciting line-up: Rachel Parris, Alan Hollinghurst, Tessa Hadley, Jeffrey Boakye, Ben Aaronovitch, Kate Muir, Charlotte Mendelson, Natasha Brown and many more.

The festival launches on 23 April 2026 with a powerful opening event of words and music as Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason introduces her new book To Be Young, Gifted and Black. Her passionate defence of Black excellence in the arts will be accompanied by live performances from Braimah and Konya Kanneh-Mason, adding musical excellence to the conversation.

The North London Book Fest has something to delight readers of every generation. Young book lovers can write poetic verses about creepy crawlies and dinosaurs with Simon Mole, dress up as great women from history with suffragette descendant Kate Pankhurst, and join Onjali Q. Raúf for an inspiring workshop on writing and activism.

Throughout the festival, you can mingle with your favourite authors, get books signed, and network with fellow readers and writers. Enjoy readings over a bite to eat and a glass of wine.

Pick up your next page-turner and explore a wide selection of books at our festival bookstore supplied by Waterstones.
