We’re thrilled to share the programme for Durham Book Festival 2023!
Taking place at Gala Durham, Clayport Library and Collected Books between 13-15 October, the festival offers 35 events with more than 40 authors over a bustling long weekend.
There’s something for everyone, from the history of Durham, to ideas about the future. You’ll find an exciting mix of fiction, politics, poetry, performance, writing workshops, children’s storytimes and much more. Authors appearing include Jeanette Winterson, Grace Dent, Melanie Sykes, Zaffar Kunial, Ruth Ware, Trevor Wood, Chris Mullin, Sebastian Payne, Janina Ramirez, and a world exclusive dramatic live reading of Benjamin Myers’ Cuddy.
