Worcester Literary Featival

Hive-Worcester
THE finishing touches are being put in place for tonight’s launch of the inaugural Worcestershire Literary Festival.

Hundreds of events from children’s storytelling to a competition to find the county’s first poet laureate will take place across the city and beyond over the next 10 days as part of the celebration of the written word.

Festival director Lisa Ventura said there had been a last-minute flurry of new events as residents rushed to make their contribution to the festival.

She said: “People have just really got on board with it.

“I’m really excited and I just need to thank all the volunteers because without them, the festival wouldn’t have grown as it has.

“I’ve seen it go from what started as a small three or four-day event and flourish. It not just encompasses Worcester, but the whole county – it’s just amazing.”

The Worcestershire Literary Festival team can be found at their office next to the Entertainer in CrownGate, Worcester, every day during the festival from 10am to 4pm.
