Otley BookFest

This November, Otley launches its first Bookfest — a brand new literary adventure landing right in the heart of our historic market town.

We've packed the weekend into seven themes — Fiction, Landscapes, Young Adults, Mountain Running, Work in Translation, Graphic Novels & Documentary, and Authentic Authoring of African Stories — each one bringing together well-known writers, musicians and artists for proper conversation, not just Q&As for the sake of it.

Whether you come for one session or the whole weekend, there's something here that'll get you thinking, talking, and probably adding a few new books to your pile.
