The friendly lit fest by the sea
Big name authors, local superstars, iconic venues in the heart of Margate
We love how books bring people together, teach them new things, turn strangers into friends and fire our imaginations.
Created in 2015, the festival attracts high quality authors, writers, teachers, and publishers to Margate. This celebration has grown from a tiny first audience of 80 people to 4,000 visitors a year.
