Loughborough University Literary Festival

A student-led festival open to the public and the Loughborough University community with events taking place on campus and in Loughborough town centre.

Each year Loughborough University students on the MA courses in Creative Writing and Contemporary Literature undertake a module called Writing in the Community. On this collaborative, project-based module, students collectively plan, curate, promote, and hold a modest literary festival in late May/early June. The festival is open to the public and the Loughborough University community with events taking place on campus and in Loughborough town centre. LU Arts provides funding and support to the students organising the festival.
