Booking now open for Durham Book Festival 2024!
Thu 10 Oct 2024 to Sun 13 Oct 2024
From 10–13 October, a starry literary line-up including Helen Fielding, Rebecca F. Kuang, Jodi Picoult, Alan Hollinghurst, Tracy Chevalier, and David Peace will descend on Durham, with over 35 events, both in-person and live-streamed, at Gala Durham, Clayport Library and Collected Books.
Delve into history, politics, humour, poetry, philosophy, fiction and more, as you discover new authors and fan over old favourites.
Highlights include an exclusive dramatic reading from the latest novel of the acclaimed Durham author, Pat Barker CBE, and the Sunderland-born author Terry Deary – of Horrible Histories fame – discusses his first history book for adults.
Take part in creative writing workshops, join a children’s story time, explore the mysteries of the cosmos, uncover history’s hidden women, or hear about the challenges of writing in conflict zones.
What’s more, you can experience the most celebrated poets of 2024, as, for the first time, Durham plays host to the renowned Forward Prizes for Poetry. There’s also a chance to catch the former National Poet for Scotland, Jackie Kay.
