The first Leiston Book Festival took place on the 7th September 2024 and was a great success. In 2025 we will continue the theme, featuring non-fiction authors, who have written books that explore our changing landscape and environment. Those who came along said how thought provoking they found the programme, and that is our goal. We’re already planning the 2025 book festival. Sign up for updates on our website and we’ll be in touch as soon as tickets go on sale. https://www.leistonbookfestival.co.uk
