Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on East Devon’s World Heritage Site, the Jurassic Coast, Budleigh Salterton hosts the most outstanding literary festival in South West England.
As a registered charity, our mission is to celebrate books and their authors and promote the art of writing and the enjoyment of reading in our East Devon community and in our local schools.
Wholeheartedly supported by the local community, who embrace the variety of events and workshops, this is a literary festival which offers delights few other festivals can match.
Taking place in the town’s St Peter’s Church on March 13 and 14, the festival brings together a distinguished lineup of authors and speakers who will share captivating stories, bold ideas, and fresh perspectives. Attendees can look forward to exploring history, politics, music, justice, and personal journeys, all while celebrating the power of the written and spoken word.
