The 2019 North Cornwall Book Festival runs from October 10th-13th. The programme will be published here on July 1st when booking will also open. As a teaser, though, you can get an idea of the amazing writers and performers we have coming if you linger on this page and watch the slideshow! To be sure of not missing out, please join Endelienta’s mailing list on this site. You can specify that you are only interested in literary events.

Whether you were unable to visit the 2018 festival or simply want to relive its conversations, you’ll find podcasts of all the talks on here, along with photographs by Don Kirkup and images from Falmouth University’s Drawing students who visited one of our children’s days. Falmouth students also provided the lively blogs.

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.
