The third annual Farsley Literature Festival gets under way this month – and promises something for young and old.
The festival takes place in venues across Farsley. As well as Truman Books and The Old Woollen, there are events at St John’s Church, Amity Brewery, Sunny Bank Mills and Farsley Library.
Headliners for this year’s festival include acclaimed bestsellers Ian Rankin (22 Nov), Kate Mosse (2 Nov) and Elly Griffiths (10 Nov), journalist Miranda Sawyer (13 Nov) and comedian Shaparak Khorsandi (16 Oct).
There’s also the chance to uncover up-and-coming wordsmiths. Whether it’s nine new authors releasing books this autumn (Debut Class 2024, 3 Nov), crime writers like Tom Hindle and Rachel North (14 Nov) or the debut novel from immigration lawyer Tasweef Kahn (5 Nov), you’re sure to find something you’ll want to tell your friends about.
Plus don’t forget to join the now legendary Book Lovers’ Quiz (13 Oct) to test your bookish knowledge.
There’s also the chance to meet your favourite authors, panels, workshops, signings, performance and storytelling – and organisers are promising it will be fun, eclectic and entertaining.
Details of all events, prices and bookings can be found here.
