Welcome to Blandford Forum's first-ever literary festival!

 

Born from the minds of a few avid readers back in 2019, we successfully raised donations and various offers of sponsorship within just a few weeks. 

 

Blandford is home to a plethora of talent and it became our mission to make that talent known; introducing the town to both new and existing writers and encouraging creativity within the community.

 

Our first festival launched in November 2019 and hosted a variety of events including workshops, readings and competitions for all to enjoy.

​

The aim for 2022 is to build upon the success we found in 2019, bringing more exciting, interactive and educational events to our audience.

​

If you are an author, publisher, editor or illustrator who would like to host a workshop, signing or talk, or perhaps you are a group or individual that would like to offer your assistance in other ways, please do not hesitate to contact us. 

​

Blandford Literary Festival is all about teamwork and community spirit, we are so thankful for the connections and friendships made last year and are looking forward to the future.
