King’s Lynn Literature Festival 2025

‘The Small Festival with a Big Heart’ offers a three-day, friendly literary festival in King’s Lynn Town Hall, comprising six events.

You will hear and can take part in spirited and thought-provoking discussions in an outstanding programme of seventeen writers from as far afield as Tasmania and as nearby as Norwich: novelists, poets, scientists and biographers.
