Todmorden Book Festival would like to thank everyone for their continued support of the Festival. This is an uncertain and troubling time for us all. We don’t know how the pandemic will affect us over the coming weeks and months, but we are closely monitoring the situation as it unfolds and will keep you informed of any developments about this year’s Festival.

Last year’s Festival was a resounding success, with fiction, non-fiction and poetry events for adults, young adults, and children, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region and exploring individual and collective stories. We hope to bring you an exciting programme of events again in November. In the meantime, please keep checking our website and social media for any updates.

We are delighted to report that online library membership has increased by 600% across parts of the UK since the coronavirus lockdown began, and we would urge all our friends and supporters to continue to support their local libraries by accessing digital library resources. You can order books for home delivery from the Festival bookseller’s sister bookshop The Book Corner atwww.bookcornerhalifax.com.

In challenging times, we often see the best of humanity and, as a festival deeply rooted in our local community, it is heartening to hear stories of how people in the community are helping one another.

Stay safe everyone and please stay in touch.

The Todmorden Book Festival Team
