Berry Writers' Festival 2026

The Berry Writers’ Festival will return in full in October 2026, bringing together authors, opinion shapers and readers for three days of conversation, inspiration, and celebration.

We believe that words matter. In 2026 our program will span workshops, panel discussions, intimate conversations and special evening events across Berry’s fabulous venues. Whether you’re a seasoned reader, a curious newcomer, or a writer yourself, the festival is about discovering stories and ideas that stay with you long after the weekend ends.
