Tickets are now on sale for the Penzance LitFest, taking place from 1-5 July.

We’re delighted to be bringing you a stellar lineup this year. It includes the 2024 Booker Prize winner, Samantha Harvey, discussing the gorgeous and uplifting Orbital, plus the BAFTA-winning Gavin and Stacey star and best-selling novelist, the hugely talented Ruth Jones. Opening our programme of author events is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary fiction, Andrew Miller, while rounding things off in thrilling style is the multi-award-winning Scottish crime writer Denise Mina.

Across 50 events we have familiar voices from radio, historical insights into Cornwall's past, a literary walk, our famous quiz and much, much more!
