Henley Literary Festival is back for 2024 with a combination of in person and live-streamed events taking place from 28th September to 6th October. There is also a varied programme of events for children. Authors attending this year’s Festival include Lynda La Plante, Michael Palin, Alison Weir, Jacqueline Wilson, David Nicholls, Irvine Welsh, Kate Mosse and Jodi Picoult.

Here are the three events I’m going to attend. Links from the author names will take you to the event details on the Henley Literary Festival website where you can purchase tickets (subject to availability). Please note, I have no commercial relationship with Henley Literary Festival and buy my own tickets.
