South Warwickshire Literary Festival
The local festival for local authors

Evenings at Mill Street

June 12th

Enjoy a lively evening of literature and laughs with authors Dr Adam Sharp and Sarah Jane Downing in the company of compere and journalist Jo Durrant.

 

Adam Sharp’s blend of monologue, stand-up and readings promises us a whirlwind world tour in idioms, proverbs and general nonsense.

 

Let’s celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th anniversary in the company of Sarah Jane Downing, Janeite and expert in all things Austen.

Sept 18th

In the lead up to our full-day Festival, enjoy a special evening of readings and talks from  well-travelled local authors Caroline Mills, Pauline Crame and Dr Helen Liebling.

 

A journalist, a human-rights activist and a novelist come together for an evening of readings, anecdotes, and personal stories. We invite you to join them as they invite us into their world through a shared love of travel, a fascination with culture, and a deep interest in humanity.
