Here’s how we looked in 2018.
Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival is a powerful blend of challenging debate, inspiring ideas, new fiction, and best-selling, award-winning writing combined with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it one of the most exciting and burgeoning literary festivals in the UK.
We celebrated 10 years in 2018 and are looking forward to another 10, celebrating great writing beside the sea!
