A few venue changes

Due to the delayed opening on Newark Library, Newark Book Festival have made the decision to move a few events. See the list here.

We have been working closely with our partners at Inspire Newark Library, and have made the collective decision to change the following events that were due to take place at Newark Library to alternative venues. This ensures that the events can run as smoothly as possible without any hitches closer to the time, as it is still uncertain of the opening date of Newark Library.

All ticket holders have already been contacted, but please do help us spread the word about the venue changes in advance.

Everything else about each event remains the same, including ticket cost, booking requirements, dates and timings. It's just the venue that has changed!

Here are the venue changes for the 2024 Newark Book Festival programme
