Portsmouth BookFest

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

The festival is run by Portsmouth City Council Library and Archive Service in partnership with independent bookseller The Hayling Island Bookshop.

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

Tickets are available from Tuesday 6th January.

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!
