The autumn edition of the Stratford Literary Festival returns from 30 October to 2 November, complete with an impressive line-up of bestselling writers and household names from stage and screen.

Featuring a plethora of events, the festival’s programme includes contributions from leading historians and experts, award-winning fiction writers and ‘some of the most exciting emerging authors published this year’.

Graham Norton, Sir Philip Pullmam, John Cleese, Lyse Doucet, Mark Radcliffe, Tony Robinson, Nicola Sturgeon, Joanna Page, Jonathan Dimbleby and Dame Denise Lewis, are just a few of the big names featuring in the festival line-up.

Since 2008 Stratford Literary Festival has been presenting an exciting mixture of debate, ideas, celebrity author events, workshops and humour - in spring and autumn. The Festival is also a charity, promoting the benefits of reading and writing on education, literacy and well-being with activities and workshops in schools, the community and prisons.

The Festival is one of the most significant literary festivals in the UK, attracting thousands of people to the world famous literary town of Stratford-upon-Avon, and all of whom share one passion: a love of books, writing and reading.
