Beyond the Book Festival will be returning in 2027.

Beyond the Book Festival is part of the Brighton Fringe Festival, celebrating the power of stories in all their forms. The festival brings together readers, writers, and creatives from the literary world for a vibrant programme of talks, panels, and special events.

Set in the heart of Brighton, Beyond the Book Festival offers something for everyone — from passionate book lovers to curious newcomers. Our mission is to go further than the traditional book festival format, creating an inclusive and accessible space that celebrates creativity, diversity, and the joy of storytelling.

As part of the Brighton Fringe, Beyond the Book Festival is a chance to discover new voices, engage with established talent, and share in unforgettable moments that go beyond the page.
