We're looking forward to the return of Norwich Book Festival, 24-31 October 2025! The programming team are working hard to confirm amazing authors, speakers, illustrators and more, all of whom will be joining us at our Celebration of Stories.
We're delighted to announce a sneak peek of the 2025 programme - just confirmed is Larry Lamb, known for his roles in Gavin & Stacey and Eastenders, with his debut novel All Wrapped Up. Tickets for his show will go on sale this summer - sign up for the NBF email newsletter so you don't miss out. Larry will be a headline speakers for 2025.
We've also opened applications to be part of The Imaginarium! The Imaginarium is at the heart of the Festival, and is filled full of exhibitors who provide free activities for all ages to enjoy. We welcome applications from any high-quality creative organisation or individual with ideas which explore creativity, stories, writing, storytelling or books.
We've been having fantastic discussions with publishers, authors, illustrators and booksellers, all of which are contributing to our plans for 2025. We'd like to thanks everybody who attended our Consultation Events in March, and shared their thoughts and ideas for the shape of the Festival in 2025 and beyond.
