Burford Lit Fest 2026

After a long, wet, dark Winter and daily news announcements that bring doom and gloom into our homes it is time to focus our attention on sunnier days to come.

The daffodils are dancing on Burford Hill in the warmth of the Spring Sunshine, and the April showers, and we are delighted to tell you that our programme for Burford Lit Fest 2026 is nearly complete.

We are endeavouring to have our programme complete by end of next week and tickets will go on sale next month.

This year we are also offering 15 x ACCESS ALL EVENTS passes. The EARLY BIRD AAE pass will be £130 and will increase to £150 on 1st |August so do not dally!

We are delighted to be welcoming a variety of authors including:

Paul Harris - The Warrior Walker

Simon Mason - The Dangerous Stranger

Nandini Das - This Little World : A New History of Tudor and Stuart England

Sara Clegg - Woman's Lore : 4,000 Years of Sirens, Serpents and Succubi

Elleke Boehmer - The Shouting In The Dark

Sue Leigh - Simmer, Chosen Hill

John Blair - Killing the Dead : Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to the New World
