The Asia House Bagri Foundation Literature Festival is the signature programme on the Asia House cultural calendar. It is held during May each year with other pre-festival events and educational outreach to schools and libraries spread over the summer.

The Literature Programme Manager must have experience in the publishing industry and a range of contacts among authors, publishers and agents. A breadth and depth of knowledge of literature, with an emphasis on Asia is also important, as is experience of writing and receiving grants. A network of contacts in education and learning would be an advantage. Exceptional organisational skills and good written and verbal communication skills are also necessary.
