RUGBY’S first ever Literary Festival proved a real page-turner as people from around the country came along to get the full story.
The Halloween-themed festival celebrated local writers, readers and artists with around 30 workshops, walks, storytelling events, book fairs and music at various town centre venues.
The event was organised by Rugby First in partnership with Rugby Borough Council and local author Lindsay Woodward.
Lindsay said: “I was so pleased with how the first festival went and the feedback from all those involved and attending the events has been excellent.
“A number of people are already asking if they can be part of the festival in 2025 which is fantastic.
“I would like to extend a special thanks to Rugby First for all their help and encouragement in getting the first festival off the ground, along with the local literary community who threw their backing behind it.”
Linda Lowne, Business Director for Rugby First, added: “It was fantastic to be involved in Rugby’s first literature festival and I was delighted with the interest it generated, how well supported it was, and the quality and diversity of the programme over the three days.
“The feedback has been excellent. One thing that did surprise me was the distance people travelled for the event, including London, Peterborough and Cambridge.”
