We're holding a sponsored 24hr read-a-thon on the 10th January 2026 from 9am-9am, to help raise funds for our 10th year! From 10am-3pm we'll be taking our reading shifts at the Newark Palace Theatre cafe, so we'd love it if you'd sign up to take a shift, or simply come along and cheer us on!

If you’d like to find out more and sign up to take part please email hello@newarkbookfestival.org.uk and download your sponsorship form below.

If you can't make it on the 10th Jan you can still support us: you can sponsor someone else taking part, donate to our fundraiser, or sign up to become a Newark Book Festival Friend.

Thank you for your support!
