Winchester Books Festival

Hello and welcome to the Winchester Books Festival.

Winchester is a city steeped in literary history and famously the resting place of one of the UK’s most beloved authors, Jane Austen. Our festival is a vibrant celebration of books, authors and the power of words.

Each April, we bring together an extraordinary line up of authors for a weekend filled with inspiration, imagination and lively discussion. From captivating fiction and thought-provoking non-fiction to enchanting children’s stories, we aim for our festival to have something for everyone.

In addition to our annual festival, we also host special events throughout the year to keep the magic of books alive in Winchester.

Sign up for our monthly newsletter and we will keep you updated on what we have going on. For more updates and behind-the-scenes content, please follow us on Instagram.
We look forward to you joining us as we celebrate the best of books and the writers who create them.
