Portsmouth Library and Archive Service and Portsmouth BookFest

Portsmouth City Council Library and Archive Service run a vast range of events for all ages, including the annual Portsmouth BookFest.

We are a friendly and relaxed book festival on the South Coast of England offering almost three weeks of exciting events in a range of lovely venues!

At most events there is the opportunity to buy a book and have it signed by the author.

If the event you are interested in is not listed here, it may be organised by an external venue who are organising their own ticket sales - see https://librariesandarchives.portsmouth.gov.uk/public-library-service/whats-on/events/portsmouth-bookfest/ for full listings.

Please note BookFest tickets are non-refundable. In the event of cancellation by the organiser ticket holders will be offered a full refund.

We look forwards to seeing you at the festival!
