Guernsey Literary Festival

A very warm welcome to the Guernsey Literary Festival. It’s thanks to you, our wonderful audience, that the Festival has grown to become one of the most eagerly anticipated events in Guernsey. With over 70 events for all interests and ages, the Festival is a unique opportunity to come together to celebrate the written word.

This year’s Festival, the island’s eighth, attracts speakers from a wide range of disciplines, from literature to politics, from history to sport, from the environment to food, from biography to travel. As in past years, there will be a full education and community programme, together with workshops for local writers with renowned visiting authors. The Guernsey Literary Festival is a not for profit organisation and registered charity, run by volunteers and is supported by generous and committed sponsors, patrons, members and partners.

Our festival dates for the next 2 years are as follows: 12th-16th May 2021 / 11th-15th May 2022.
