The Liverpool Literary Festival, hosted by the University of Liverpool, returns this October with an eclectic line up of novelists, poets, campaigners and performers.

The festival opens on Friday 11 October with the prestigious Liverpool Literary Lecture. This year Brooklyn author, Colm Tóibín will take to the lectern to consider Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats & James Joyce: Three Writers in Search of a Father.

The full Liverpool Literary Festival programme that follows is packed into one day – Saturday, October 12 – allowing visitors to experience everything on offer or dip in and out of events as their curiosity leads them.

This year the festival is proud to be supported by Student Roost and Bruntwood.

Liverpool Literary Festival runs from October 11- 12 2019 at the Victoria Gallery & Museum, Brownlow Hill. For more information, and to book your tickets, please visit: www.liverpool.ac.uk/literary-festival/
