Southwold Library is excited to announce a new literary festival this November which is being run in partnership with Southwold Arts Centre.

The new festival will take place from Saturday 4 to Sunday 5 November and features a whole host of bestselling authors from a variety of genres.

Charlotte Clark, Manager of Southwold Library, said:

“We are excited to bring back such a great line up of authors to Southwold for everyone to enjoy after the sad demise of the popular Ways with Words festival. We have been touched by how many authors were willing to support us with this new venture and hope 2023 can be the first of many years to come.”

Andrew Taylor, Trustee of Southwold Arts Centre, added:

“Southwold Arts Centre is delighted to be hosting the inaugural Southwold Literary Festival on 4th and 5th November this year. With such an exciting line-up of authors we are sure that it will be a very enjoyable weekend, and we look forward to seeing you there.”
