The Off the Shelf Literature Festival features readings by well known authors, workshops, storytelling, competitions, family events, and literary walks with a programme to suit all tastes.
The Off the Shelf Literature Festival is now in its 17th year and features over 150 events at a variety of venues including the Showroom Cinema, the City Hall, the Universities, the Quaker Meeting House, local libraries and community centres. The festival programme includes readings by nationally recognised authors and poets.
