Welcome to Sevenoaks Literary Festival
Serving as one of the cultural heartbeats of our town, Sevenoaks Literary Festival aims to bring the brightest and best authors together to share our love of books; whether they be novels, biographies, histories, fashion, cookery, gardening, film, sport or music.
We are proud to collaborate with our award-winning local bookseller Sevenoaks Bookshop, which offers a literary treasure trove at the heart of Sevenoaks; curated by a team of experts, headed by the renowned Fleur Sinclair, outgoing President of the Booksellers Association.
We’d like to thank our sponsors for 2026: Strutt & Parker who continue their support across the festival and The Fashion Spy, who are sponsoring Alexandra Shulman and Berry & Lambert Solicitors, who are sponsoring Prue Leith. You can find out more about them by clicking here.
We are also so grateful to the volunteers who create and run the festival and of course our fantastic audiences old and new who support us.
If you’d like to join our Friends mailing list to be the first to know about the festival, or find out about getting involved you can email us at: info@sevlitfest.com.
