“There is more than one way to tell a story.”

Coventry Festival of Books is about to write its very first chapter, and you’re invited to be part of the story. Taking place on 11th–12th July 2026 across three unique venues, this brand-new festival will transform Coventry into a vibrant celebration of books, creativity, literacy, art and history.

Bringing together bestselling authors, familiar faces, indie talent and local voices, while championing small businesses and Coventry’s rich cultural landscape, this is set to be one of the city’s most exciting events of the year.
