About the event
We’re so excited to be returning to Cardiff with even more cosy bookish magic.
Step into a world where stories meet craftsmanship. Meet brilliant authors in person, discover your next favourite read, and even take home a signed copy (or a stack – we won’t judge). Wander through stalls from talented small businesses and crafters, where you’ll find everything from beautifully handmade bookmarks to scented candles and thoughtful gifts.
This isn’t just a book festival, it’s your ticket to a curated escape into the warm, wonderful universe readers adore. Whether you’re a lifelong bookworm or someone who just enjoys a good page-turner now and then, you’ll feel right at home.
