The Knutsford Literature Festival is now in its 15th year (2014). Knutsford Literature Festival was launched in October 2000 as a millennium event. It was an instant success and is now staged annually during the month of October.
The festival, which focuses above all on writers and their readers, takes place in the historic market town of Knutsford, across a number of distinctive venues. The event offers an eclectic mix of novelists, biographers and writers on specialist subjects.
It is run by a small, voluntary committee, encouraged by the support of a growing register of Friends.
Writers in many genres enjoy meeting their readers at Knutsford, an attractive town with literary associations to the life and work of Elizabeth Gaskell.
