Norwich Book Festival is back Saturday 24 - Friday 30 October 2026!
This year, we're set to Go All In, for the National Year of Reading!
Of course, as far as Norwich Book Festival is concerned, every year is for reading, but we're super excited that 2026 is officially the year for it!
The national Go All In campaign, with its messaging: 'You're not really into it until you read into it', is all about celebrating reading in all its forms. Magazine articles, online blogs, listening to audio books, it all counts!
