Newark Book Festival

Newark Book Festival

Join us to celebrate the 10th birthday of Newark Book Festival this July with 4 days of literature, creativity, and fun for all ages. Expect a rich and diverse collection of events for everyone who loves a good story!

From the 9th-12th July we'll be bringing you a packed programme of creative workshops, books talks, author interviews, storytelling sessions, and performances, once again showcasing both local and national talent at Newark Book Festival. 2026 is the #NationalYearofReading so we'll be celebrating that (and our 10th Birthday) in style!

We'll be bringing back old favourites such as our Writing Workshops, Literature Village, and our much-loved Children's Zone, as well as bringing even more of your favourite authors, storytellers, and some exciting new events to the mix! So #GoAllIn and make sure you grab your tickets as soon as they're released to enjoy what's sure to be a vibrant and unforgettable 10th anniversay celebration of stories!
