Dorchester Literary Festival

The Dorchester Literary Festival is an exciting cultural event for a town rich in literary associations. Picturesque Dorchester and the unspoiled countryside and dramatic coastal scenery surrounding it has inspired many of Britain’s best loved writers, including Thomas Hardy, T E Lawrence, William Barnes, Ian McEwan and Tracy Chevalier.

With a programme of events highlighting the latest books by today’s most original authors our festival warmly welcomes book-lovers to this beautiful setting. The festival’s events will be held in various locations suchas Dorset Museum, The Dorford Centre and The Shire Hall.

Writers taking part in the exciting line up will be added to the website when announced.
