The Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival, picked by Harper’s Bazaar as one of the UK’s Best Literary Festivals, has become the hot ticket on the national Festival circuit thanks to its stellar line-up of literary names in beautifully intimate settings. Hosted over a long weekend and now in its eighth year, the Festival celebrates great writing by bringing best-selling authors, influential politicians, comedians and stars of the stage to share their stories with a programme designed to entertain and inspire.
This year’s line-up features John Simpson, Dr Jane Hawking and Gill Sims (of Peter and Jane fame), alongside Nick Hewer, David Starkey, Isabel Hardman, Henry Cole, Julie Summers, Robin Ince, Conn Iggulden and many more. Don’t miss a Yorkshire Post Literary Lunch to remember as Alan Johnson shares the soundtrack to his life, as well as a sparkling evening celebrating wine with the greatest taster of his – or any – generation, Oz Clarke. There will also be a special recording of the BBC Radio 4 Round Britain Quiz.
