About the event
After a whirlwind journey across the UK, Literary Escape Festival is ready to turn the page and begin an exciting new chapter.
In 2027, we invite you to escape into a fresh location for a one-day celebration of stories, authors, and creativity, the ultimate bookish adventure for readers, writers, and lovers of words.
Meet brilliant indie authors, discover your next favourite read, and get books signed by the people who brought them to life. Wander through stalls filled with treasures from small businesses and crafty creators, from beautiful bookmarks and cosy candles to thoughtful, handmade gifts.
Step into a world where stories come alive, creativity thrives, and book lovers gather to celebrate the magic of imagination.
Whether you devour novels by the stack or prefer to savour a few pages with a cuppa, Literary Escape Festival is your perfect getaway into the world of books.
