The Bradford Literature Festival is one of the UK’s most distinctive cultural gatherings, a ten-day celebration of words, ideas, and imagination set in the heart of a city built on stories. Each summer, Bradford transforms into a living library of voices: poets, novelists, historians, artists, and thinkers from every background converge to debate, inspire, and create. The festival’s spirit lies in its inclusivity and curiosity, its willingness to explore the intersections of literature, politics, faith, philosophy, and identity. It’s less a conventional book fair and more a dialogue between worlds, a place where storytelling becomes a shared act of discovery.
