Why visit the Cheltenham Literary Festival?
While this event may not be as famous as the Hay Literary Festival, Cheltenham was actually the world’s first literature festival. This year, the Chelt Lit Festival aims to bring together a mixture of literary greats and up-and-coming writers for a variety of free and ticketed events that celebrate the written and spoken word.
2022 will be the 73rd festival and will feature over 1000 participants. This year will feature co-curated events with The International Book Arsenal Festival, Kyiv, and the overarching theme will be the importance of culture during dark times.
Best-selling author Celeste Ng is a guest curator and will be speaking about her latest novel at the event, while there will also be a film strand to the festival curated by film critic Clarisse Loughrey. In addition, Inua Ellams, Katy Hessel, Justin Webb and Ann Morgan will all be speaking throughout the festival.

Literary events will be held across the town, but the festival’s hub is in Montpellier Gardens. If you can make a mini-break of it, it is well worth staying in the town or nearby for a few days.
