This year Streatham Arts Festival has an exciting new offering for our community. Art and music have long been a key part of the festival, but literature is about to join the mix!

From local to big-name authors, writing competitions, poetry and spoken word, as well as opportunities to meet authors, get bespoke advice from booksellers and librarians on choosing the perfect book for you or your child, and have access to publishing workshops with editors, Streatham Literature Festival will have something for everyone. We’re adding new events to our programme all the time, so be sure to keep an eye on our website and social media platforms for more information.

We had hoped to run a physical festival but, sadly, Coronavirus has put paid to that. We’ll be running our events online this year, and gearing up to take it into the real world in 2021.

Last, but absolutely not least, we are on the lookout for enthusiastic volunteers to come on board and be part of the team curating and running the literature festival. If this sounds like something you, or someone you know might be interested in, please contact Hannah at literature@streathamfestival.com – we cannot wait to hear from you!
