For a quarter of a century, the Swindon Festival of Literature has made May a high spot on Swindon’s cultural calendar. With its terrific track record, proven support, and fabulous following, the Festival of Literature is now ready to expand!

To help Swindon celebrate all that it has to offer, and to offer all that it has to celebrate, in the arts, the Festival of Literature becomes a Swindon Spring Festival - of literature and the arts. It will still happen in May. The spoken and written word will still be at the heart of the festival. There will be lots of authors, talks, discussions, and workshops.

But the new-look festival will also celebrate other art forms. There will be plenty of dance, drama, music, film, and circus performances from the Festival’s partners in Swindon and from artists further afield.

The new-look festival will showcase literature and the arts from Swindon and elsewhere.

If you have any ideas for events that you would like to see at the new Swindon Spring Festival, please tell us at swindonspringfest@lowershawfarm.co.uk or on 01793 771080

The programme for the new-look festival will be launched, and tickets will be on sale, at midday on Thursday 21st March 2019
