The Literary Escape Festival is a one-day grassroots book festival celebrating independent authors, local creatives, and small businesses.

Designed to bring readers and makers together, the festival offers a relaxed and welcoming space to discover new voices, meet authors, and explore a curated selection of handmade goods from independent makers. Visitors can enjoy book signings, and the chance to browse stalls while soaking up a vibrant, community-led literary atmosphere.

As part of a touring festival series, the Literary Escape Festival champions independent literature, creative entrepreneurship, and accessible cultural experiences, creating opportunities for local communities to connect through books, creativity, and shared stories.
