About HUDDERSFIELD LITERATURE FESTIVAL LIMITED

Huddersfield Literature Festival is an award-winning 10-day Festival held annually in March/April. A blended Festival of 50+ digital, outdoor and venue-based events held online and at accessible spaces in Huddersfield, Hudd Lit Fest champions accessibility, diversity and under-represented groups. Showcasing emerging writers and artists alongside major names, the Festival offers a diverse programme of author talks, workshops, discussion topics, performance poetry, multi-arts performances, wellbeing projects and family friendly events. Innovative special projects and commissions, often inspired by local community partnerships, are designed to promote community cohesion, improve wellbeing and proactively engage with under-represented artists, performers and audiences. With many free and low-cost events, including some with live subtitling, and Access Guides to key venues, Hudd Lit Fest promotes accessibility with a view to offering more opportunities for a wider range of people to enjoy arts and culture. Established in 2006, HLF is a major fixture on the town’s cultural calendar. Patrons: Sir Patrick Stewart OBE and Lemn Sissay OBE.
