Since 2017, Bury St Edmunds Literature Festival has gone from strength to strength; bringing together audiences for an annual celebration of books and writing, right here, in the heart of East Anglia.

​

This year is set to be our biggest festival yet, with an incredible line-up of authors, events for children & new interactive workshops & walks.

​

One way we are seeking to shore up the festival’s future is through offering advertising packages, corporate sponsorship and options for private philanthropy.

​

We would love to talk to local businesses, organisations and individuals who feel able to support us in making the festival an annual fixture of the town’s cultural calendar for years to come.
