Spring 2026 Events

Guildford Book Festival is a registered charity on a mission to celebrate great writing and share a love of books with a wide and varied audience.As well as our annual festival full of author events, our popular schools programme runs throughout the year, so children get to meet and be inspired by authors and illustrators.We think this work is vital; 1 in 7 primary schools have no library and 1 in 11 children grow up without any books at home.Your support for Guildford Book Festival Charity is crucial be helping us reach more children, encourage a love of reading and, we hope, inspire the next generation of authors.
