Berwick Literary Festival

'The Friendly Festival in a Walled Town ... A volunteer-run event, supported by local sponsors and generous individual patrons, but without significant corporate funding ... We also (unusually for a literary festival) arrange for the schools in our area a series of free enrichment activities for all ages, as detailed on our website ... Our programming aims to create an engaging cross-section of topics and speakers, many with a focus on Northumberland and the Scottish Borders, rather than list celebrities or best-sellers.' Normally held October.
