Writing its very first chapter at Coventry Charterhouse...

Taking place over one spectacular weekend on Saturday 11 & Sunday 12 July, this brand-new festival is the first of its kind for Coventry, transforming the city into a true book lover’s paradise. From page-turning talks to hands-on workshops, immersive exhibits to creative activities, this is a full weekend celebration of books, literacy, art and history, with a few delightful plot twists along the way.

The Book Extravaganza will take over the National Trust’s Charterhouse, hosting a buzzing bookish marketplace packed with indie authors, beautiful books, crafts, merchandise and curiosities for every kind of reader.

Entry to Charterhouse is via the standard admission fee (or free for members). Meanwhile, the Anglican Chapel at London Road Cemetery will set the stage for international and headline authors, with ticketed talks and performances available to book in advance.

Two venues, countless stories, and more reasons than ever to fall in love with the power of storytelling.
