Sutton Coldfield has a rich and vibrant creative community of poets, authors, storytellers, artists, and more - and they deserve a stage. The Literary Arts Festival has been created to shine a light on exactly that. Not just the creativity within our town, but the wider world of literary arts that we're proud to bring to Sutton Coldfield for the very first time.

Our aim has been to create a programme that speaks to all ages, all cultures and all tastes, in one place, across one incredible weekend.

All daytime events are free to attend, and we recommend reserving your space in advance as spaces are limited for events.
