Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival
A stellar line-up of literary names in beautifully intimate settings, Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival returns.
Plus Raworths heads outside with a host of free activities for all the family. Keep an eye out for our Raworths Run, the perfect opportunity for that energy boost to get you through the day, and our Pinewoods Book Trail, a cosy autumn walk in a beautiful setting where you can test your book knowledge with the whole family. If a trail outdoors isn’t for you, then pair beers with books and prosecco with prose in our Publit Trial across Harrogate’s best-loved spots. And don’t miss our spectacular, giant digital installation projected outside The Crown Hotel starring – you! Find yourself reciting Shakespeare, singing to the crowd or telling a good old fashioned joke in Talking Heads.
See all Raworths Literature Festival events.
Book online via our website or by phone.
