Leeds Lit Fest, the festival of words and thought, delivered by a partnership of 10 Leeds-based creative arts and literature-based organisations, returns THIS WEEK.
2 – 7 March 21
More than 100 events in 35 venues over 5 days.
Despite the confines of the pandemic, we are fortunate that LLF has pulled together an incredible line-up of virtual events set to inspire and enlighten a wider audience than ever.
Alongside free author talks, panels and creative workshops with the likes of Monique Roffey, Peter James, Iain Dale and Gary Younge, you can expect performances, children’s events, poetry, film, debates, a literary quiz and a whole lot more!
In 2020, Leeds Lit Fest won Best Literary Festival at the national Saboteur Awards, after being shortlisted in 2019. Now, in 2021, the event will reach beyond the confines of the city of Leeds. Accessible from the comfort of our homes, LLF will connect us through words.
