The outstanding success of our 2024 Festival shows that words – and writers’ festivals – matter very much. To build on that legacy in 2026 will require very generous volunteers and extensive fundraising efforts. Key to that support will be an exclusive group of Supporters who will be instrumental in ensuring the viability and longevity of this critical community event.
