The King's Lynn Literature Festivals are held during a single weekend in March (Fiction) and September (Poetry) each year. Our guiding principle, initiated by
King's Lynn's finest, Tony Ellis and co-founder, the late George MacBeth, is to present some of the best of contemporary writers in a congenial and informal setting.
You will see writers of international repute alongside new writers, from all age ranges and from locations across the world.

These festivals have been running in an unbroken annual series since 1984.

We look forward to welcoming you to our next festival, poetry.
