Norwich Book Festival
Norwich Book Festival runs from Saturday 24 to Friday 30 October 2026, bringing a week of readings, author appearances, talks, signings, panels and interactive events to the city.
The festival returns to Norwich, England’s first UNESCO City of Literature, with a programme designed for readers, writers, families and anyone who enjoys storytelling. Events cover a wide range of genres and subjects, including crime, politics, history and science fiction.
The programme also includes family-friendly activities, with free events in The Imaginarium and wider book-themed events across the city. Visit Norwich lists the festival as free and low-cost, with activities including workshops, interactive events, the Norwich Print and Zine Fair and a Norwich Bookshop Crawl.
