Literature Village
Find the Literature Village inside the entrance of Newark Town Hall, spreading through the Lobby, Colonnades and Prison Cells on the Saturday of the festival.
It’s the perfect opportunity to pick up a new stash to add to your TBR pile from independent and local authors and publishers. You’ll also find bookish accessories and homewares, such as beautifully crafted bookmarks, booksleeves, writing stationery, booklovers’ gifts, and much more.
Meet all the stallholders joining us this year here!Â
