NORTH CORNWALL BOOK FESTIVAL

Booking for our sixth festival opens on July 1st and we’ll keep our wonderful 2018 programme under wraps until then. But if you watch the slide show above, the eagle-eyed among you will spot some of the amazing writers and performers coming to join us this year. Do please join our mailing list, if you haven’t already, so as not to miss out.

The fifth North Cornwall Book Festival was a deep and utter glory and we invite you to enjoy its highlights by visiting our podcast page and viewing both the drawings made there by students from Falmouth University’s Drawing MA course and the evocative photographs taken by Julia Powney and Dan Hall. You can also gain a good feel of the atmosphere by visiting our Facebook page.

Our box office will be reopening in July but Endelienta’s one continues to offer a host of cultural treats in the interim. You can visit their website by clicking here and contact their box office on 07787 944935.

Like every festival, we rely heavily on volunteer person-power for everything from putting up posters or helping direct traffic to checking tickets and looking after authors. We’re especially interested to hear from volunteers who would be available for two of three days before the festival and from volunteers with special skill sets to offer throughout the year, like social media or IT. If you’d like to become involved please use our contact page to let us know.

Every year we’re proud to host the presentation of the Charles Causley Young People’s Poetry Prizes. It’s time for all Cornwall-based children and teenagers to write their entries now! You can download details and entry forms by clicking here.
