Review:

The annual Cheltenham Literature Festival has been drawing huge crowds of book lovers since 1949 and has become an eagerly anticipated event in Cheltenham. The festival runs for 10 days every autumn (2019 dates are 4th to 13th of October) and visitors to this delightful spa town will find it transformed into a reader’s Mecca where over 600 distinguished local and international authors, poets, actors, debaters and opinion-formers strut their stuff. The fair offers something for everyone – you can attend a reading and book signing, attend a debate, bring the children to see their favorite story-book characters brought to life or simply meander through a treasure trove of wonderful books.
