Henley Literary Festival is back for 2023 with a combination of in person and live-streamed events running from 30th September to 8th October.
This year’s events take place in Henley Town Hall, the Baillie Gifford Marquee at Phyllis Court and the Kenton Theatre. For those who can’t attend in person, in most cases there is an option to purchase a ticket to access a live-stream of the event. There is also a full programme of events for children.
Here are the events I’m planning to attend either in person or virtually. Links from the author names will take you to the event details on the Henley Literary Festival website where you can also purchase tickets (subject to availability).
