Penzance Literary Festival

Born in 2010. A celebratory get-together for the 'literary village' of West Cornwall - authors, poets, readers, publishers. An ideal addition to a summer holiday for visitors and one that has been embraced by locals.

2017 witnesses the 8th time that the event has hung up it's shingle and it seems to be coming along very nicely thank you very much. A mix of useful workshops, engaging subject matter and decent authors contribute to a genuine community festival with a grounded sense of what it's all about.
