Cambridge Literary Festival presents two festivals each year. We welcome a rich and diverse range of speakers to debate the urgent issues of the day, deliver lectures, present literary greats alongside emerging writers and welcome scientists, artists, politicians, environmentalists, comedians, novelists, historians, journalists, and poets.

We are dedicated in our mission to enthuse a new generation of readers via our author events and encouraging a love of books. Our FREE Children’s Festival returns every Spring, hosting an array of high-quality, fun, interactive events and we hold a FREE schools day in May for primary and secondary school.

We work in partnership with charities, we work with community organisations, we donate books to libraries and schoolchildren. In addition we provide generous concessions on tickets and we offer free tickets to widen access to the festival.
