Become a Festival Stallholder
Applications for the 2026 festival will open on the 26th January
Become a stallholder at Newark Book Festival and join the Literature Village.Â
Newark Book Festival is a four-day literature festival – celebrating local, national and international literary talent, with author talks and panel events, debates and a whole host of family-fun activities and workshops. 2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the Festival so join us for new venues, surprises and celebratory twists and turns.
On Saturday 11th July, The Literature Village will now take part inside the entrance to the Town Hall - in the lobby, Colonnades and prison cells at the heart of the festival. On Sunday the 12th the festival will take over the marketplace with a whole village of literature-related market stalls.
The stalls are for people and businesses promoting or selling work connected to the literature sector. (Authors, writing groups, reading groups, publishers, booksellers, book illustrators, craft makers, book-themed cakes, heritage sites etc). Please note there is no electricity available.
We welcome applications from those who wish to make their areas as exciting and interactive as they can!Â
