Event details

Description

Now in its 13th year, Felixstowe Book Festival brings together acclaimed authors and book lovers in the stunning setting of Harvest House.

This year's line-up features bestselling novelist Barbara Erskine, 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' author Tracy Chevalier, historian Paul French, and a special celebration of crime writer P.D. James with Mandy Morton and Nicola Upson.

Festival-goers can combine author events with seaside walks, beach visits and seafood suppers, making it a perfect literary getaway.

The festival is run by passionate volunteers and offers an intimate, welcoming atmosphere where audiences can meet authors, get books signed, and discover new voices across fiction, non-fiction and poetry.
