PETWORTH FESTIVAL

LITERARY FESTIVAL BOX OFFICE OPENS ONLINE AND BY PHONE ON 25 SEPTEMBER

Dear Friends,

What a joy the Petworth Literary Festival has proved to be. When we first toyed with the idea we thought we could perhaps stretch to a dozen events over a long weekend without exhausting the appeal of a new entry to the Petworth diary. Over a dozen year later we are struggling to contain the festival to within a fortnight such is the interest that has been generated by events that both celebrate and drill down into fascinating pieces of writing whether fiction or otherwise.

Over our precious fortnight you’ll hopefully discover much that is best about the Petworth Festival – and not just in the literary sphere. Firstly our innovative new collaboration with the National Trust and the Royal Academy of Music, The Petworth Proms (already sold out…); secondly a brand new music-and-literature project with Petworth Primary School based around Roald Dahl’s Enormous Crocodile; and of course the Literary Festival itself. There is SO much to look forward to, SO much stimulation just around the corner, and SO many high profile writers and authors gearing up to visit us here in our beautiful town. We look forward to welcoming you all!

With our warmest wishes

Stewart Collins and the Petworth Festival team
