Loughborough University Literary Festival
Book now
An annual literary celebration with a week of events on campus.
About the festival
Each year English postgraduate masters students at Loughborough University are responsible for organising a literary festival as part of their studies.
The theme for this year's festival is 'The importance of art in times of crisis. Art is hope'. From poetry and painting (and everything in between), creativity allows us to respond to the world around us and brings communities together when it matters most.
