All about - Cambridge Literary Festival (original) (raw)

Cambridge Literary Festival (CLF) began as Cambridge Wordfest in 2003, when we had our first annual Spring Festival. We began hosting Winter Festivals in 2008.

2014 saw us become a charity and graduate to Cambridge Literary Festival, which is now firmly at the heart of the cultural scene in Cambridge. We continue to present two literary celebrations each year, plus one-off events as well as fresh digital content that gets added to our CLF Player. Cambridge Literary Festival is a much-loved and regular highlight drawing large audiences from Cambridge and the rest of the UK.

Thousands of wordsmiths, writers and authors have graced our festival stages and have enthralled, entertained, educated and sometimes enraged our audiences. We now welcome over 350 writers and speakers to Cambridge each year and stage events that cover a huge variety of topics.

As a charity we are regulated by the charities commission, you find out more about this here Governance.
