A Festival rooted in the local community
Our 2022 Festival runs from 24 March-3 April, with bestselling authors, children's events, discussions, creative writing workshops, performance poetry, wellbeing and more.

“One of the most vibrant festivals I’ve had the pleasure to speak at, driven by a true passion for words of every description. I’d come back in a heartbeat.”
Susie Dent, ‘Countdown’ presenter and author

Huddersfield Literature Festival is a community festival that aims to bring people together in the appreciation of words and writing. We don’t just put well-known authors on the stage. We also: 

  • Showcase local and emerging authors and poets, giving them a platform to promote their work
  • Run free events for children including our annual Stafflex Free Family Day at North Huddersfield Trust School with storytelling, films and fun activities
  • Take authors into schools to inspire the writers of the future
  • Support the LGBTQ+ community through our annual ‘Polari Up North’ event
  • Work closely with Huddersfield Town Football Club to stage events that engage their family supporters
  • Host events for neurodiverse children and adults, and run projects for SEN families
  • Commission projects that recognise and promote the importance of words and writing for our mental health and wellbeing.  Our patrons are Sir Patrick Stewart OBE and Lemn Sissay MBE.
