Streatham Literature Festival
Streatham Literature Festival brings you local authors and big names, creative writing workshops and a children’s short story writing competition, comedy, poetry and spoken word, opportunities to meet the authors through talks and Q&A, or you can get bespoke recommendations from booksellers and librarians to help you choose the perfect book for you, or your child. Streatham Literature Festival has something for everyone.
We could not produce the festival without the help of our volunteers. If you would like to be part of the team curating and running the literature festival, please sign up via our new Festival Volunteers page, or contact Hannah, Literature Festival Coordinator at literature@streathamfestival.com
