Welcome to the 2026 Bridport Literary Festival

A festival is more than just a string of events. It’s a community, locals and visitors united by their love of reading. In Tanya Bruce-Lockhart, we’ve lost a key member of that band. I hope she’d have appreciated the ambition of this year’s festival, which builds on her vision. BridLit 2026 may be a new chapter, but it’s part of a wonderful long-running story.

Adrian Turpin, Festival Director

MORE AUTHORS, more venues, a dedicated children’s programme – a new chapter begins. On behalf of the trustees, I’d like to thank all our supporters who have given in various ways. Without you the festival would not happen. We hope you enjoy turning the page.

Stuart Rock, Chair of Trustees
