Brought to you by the

Bournemouth Writing Festival

The Bournemouth Writing Festival inspires writers to write with free and ticketed practical and hands-on events, workshops, talks, walks, panels, literary agents, performances, writing competitions and networking opportunities. A carefully curated selection of self-published, published and writing professionals impart their knowledge and advice to writers of all ages, backgrounds, abilities and genres, regardless of where they are on their writing journey, taking place in multiple venues across Bournemouth Town Centre.

As part of the Bournemouth Writing Festival's manifesto, free workshops for underprivileged writers take place during the festival, including for adults with additional needs, homeless, those sidelined from society (ex-prisoners, addicts and refugees) and children in care. Competitions for schools and home-educated children as well as free workshops for children and families during the festival make sure that everyone is included and stories heard. 

 

Profits from the Romance Writing Festival contributes to the Bournemouth Writing Festival to allow us to support writers from all areas of our community.

25th, 26th and 27th April 2025.
