Litfest aims to make its festivals accessible to as wide an audience as possible. This page has information about access to venues and online events for Litfest’s Autumn Wekend 2023.
There are accessibility features built into the Litfest website — you can find these by clicking on the red “person” symbol on the right-hand side of the page.
If you have enquiries about access, or specific accessibility needs for Litfest events, you can email [email protected] or phone our office at 01524 582394. (Our office is only staffed part-time, so please leave a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.)
You can also contact any of our partner venues to find out about specific venues — details are given below.
