Launched in 2016, Evesham Festival of Words is a year-long Festival with a main weekend at the end of June each year.  It can be described as “a celebration of words in all their forms, written, spoken or sung”.  The events we put on include: author and other talks; plays; concerts; quiz night, walks and bike rides with a literary connection.

Festival of Words Programme 2024!

As we move into the autumn of our fabulous programme, a quick reminder of our remaining events: 

Friday 1st November, Holland House lunch and talk about Gandhi is sold out, but for those disappointed not to attend on this occasion, we are repeating this talk on the evening of Wed 14th May 2025.

We wind up this year with two events at The Henrician performing arts centre in Evesham.

On  Friday 8th November at 7pm Liz Grand will perform ‘The Secret Life of Enid Blyton.

This is followed by ‘Wilde About Oscar’ with Jonathan Goodwin on Friday 29th November at 7.30pm. 

Tickets for both events are available only from www.henrician.org
