In 2020, due to Covid-19, Durham Book Festival will take place online. The festival traditionally takes place in and around the beautiful city of Durham each October.
The 2021 Durham Book Festival will take place between the 9-17 October. We’re currently putting together a range of digital and live events that we can’t wait to share with you in the Autumn.
We’re very much hoping that we’ll be able to welcome you back in person for some events at the Gala Theatre and are working with colleagues at Durham County Council to make sure that this is done as safely as possible. We’ll also have a range of digital events for people to watch from the comfort of their home, wherever in the world they may be.
We’ll announce our programme on 19 August. You can sign up to our newsletter above.
In the meantime, you can catch up on podcasts from the 2020 programme here, including the Writing Durham series featuring DBC Pierre and Pat Barker. You can also listen to a guided walk which takes you on a literary pilgrimage of Durham here.
