It all began back in 2011 when a small group of like minded souls, got together to see if we could put on a literary festival in the town. And over 12 years on we have gone from strength to strength.

 

Our main festival takes place in March each year, but we also have projects and events though out the year. Our sponsors and partners are key to enabling us to put on a festival that is as inspiring and inclusive as it can possibly make it.

As well as organising a core programme of events we also encourage local groups and venues to be partners in the festival by organising their own events. This helps us grow the festival to offer something for everyone in the town. If you would like to put on an event as part of WORDfest Crawley, or would like to get involved do get in touch.
