Location: Wimbledon
Wimbledon Bookfest is returning this October! 9 days full of literature events for the whole family. The line up includes Chris Riddell, Judy Murray, Ali Smith, Min Kym, Elif Shafak, Chris Boardman, Salman Rushdie, June Sarpong and many more.
The full list of events and tickets is here: https://www.wimbledonbookfest.org/Events/EventsCalendar.aspx (some of the events are free).
The Bookfest was started in 2006 by Tony Kane and Fiona Razvi, who wanted to raise cultural activity and awareness in Wimbledon.
A team was formed with representatives from the arts and publishing sectors, including Polka Theatre, New Wimbledon Theatre, Merton Council, Wimbledon Guild, local bookshops and Time & Leisure magazine.
A charity, Wimbledon Arts, was formed and a trust set up. Books were chosen as a vehicle for the arts with long terms plans of a more broad arts festival in the future. The team is almost entirely volunteer-based. We have only a small amount of admin support.
The festival has grown, and we now have a specialised team of considerable size, and we have developed many community partnerships.
