We have a fantastic line-up this year, including musical events and wonderful writers. Our first author is Peter Frankopan, who will be discussing his new book, The Earth Transformed: An Untold History on Saturday 13 April.
The main festival will be held on Saturday 20 April and Sunday 21 April - Free Parking for BibLit visitors. Our writers include Sir Nicholas Coleridge, Ian Fleming biographer Nicholas Shakespeare, Boris Johnson biographer Andrew Gimson, James Read – shortlist by Fortnam & Mason for the Food Book award 2024 and Robert Hardman, whose latest book looks at the first months of the reign of Charles III.
