Welcome to the autumn and our annual Literature Festival taking place in its incredible new storytelling home – Storyhouse.
This year’s festival of words has a weekend of events and installations directed by award-winning poet Hollie McNish, so expect to be immersed in her poetry in the most unexpected locations…

A raft of talented writers is set to make this year’s Chester Literature Festival a celebration of all the wonderful things that Storyhouse has already achieved in its first six months. These are inclusive, exciting, high quality events that will entertain, inform and provoke. Get up close to your favourite writers and experience poetry, history, fiction, music, politics, and even a pub crawl; Chester Literature Festival will brighten up a wonderful week this autumn.
