Berwick Literary Festival

A week of 55-plus events across Berwick-upon-Tweed — bestselling authors, broadcasters, poets and local voices, not just headline names filling a marquee. The flat £9-a-ticket pricing makes it easy to build a loose day or two around whichever two or three talks catch your eye.

Berwick's Elizabethan town walls are worth the walk either side of a session, so it stacks nicely into a full day out.
