A celebration of words in all their forms, written, spoken or sung.  The kind of events we put on include: author talks; plays; concerts; poetry open mic; quiz night, and writing workshops.  In addition we run an annual Short Story Competition, as well as competitions which might include: haiku, poetry, photo captions, six word stories.  And we run an annual Christmas Quiz.

We have made great progress in putting together a really exciting programme of events for 2022, and we really hope that fans of the Festival will come along to support us, both during the main Festival Weekend (1st – 3rd July 2022) and also throughout the year. Details of all events are in our 2022 Programme Brochure and on the Programme Page.

For even more fabulous coverage of  all aspects of the 2022 Festival, see our feature in the April edition of  ‘Cotswold Life’.
