Weardale WordFest is a community book festival set in the stunning North Pennines landscape of Weardale, County Durham.
We invite all lovers of books and reading to enjoy our free, friendly and informal events. Join us to meet regional authors, to experience the joys of reading and to explore the world of writing for yourself.
The 2023 Weardale WordFest will take place 27— 29 October, in St. Thomas Church Hall, Stanhope. Look out for the WordFest writing workshops happening throughout Weardale in the weeks leading up to the festival and (new this year) the Weardale Authors’ Book Fair in August.
