Retford Book Festival

Thank you for your interest in the Retford Book Festival. The second festival, 6th to 14th June 2026, has something for everyone. Building on the success of last year's festival there will be more events and more authors than last time, putting Retford on the book festival map.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
