One of the festival’s highlights is the chance to meet and chat with authors about their work. Visitors will be able to purchase books directly from the writers, making it a wonderful opportunity to discover new reads and even get books signed by the people who wrote them.

Whether you’re an avid reader, a casual book lover, or simply looking for an inspiring way to spend the weekend, the Herts Book Festival promises a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere filled with creativity, conversation, and a shared love for literature.

The festival team is also on the lookout for authors and sponsors who would like to be part of this exciting annual event.
