SUMMARY:Oxford Literary Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:All images courtesy of Oxford Literary Festival \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Oxford Literary Festival 2026\n\n\n\nThe Oxford Literary Festival returns from Saturday 21 March to Sunday 29 March 2026\, bringing nine inspiring days of conversation\, culture and ideas to the heart of the city. \n\n\n\nWidely regarded as one of the world’s leading literary celebrations\, the festival gathers renowned authors\, public figures and emerging voices in a series of thought-provoking events set against the magnificent backdrop of Oxford’s historic university quarter. \n\n\n\nThe Oxford Literary Festival is a place where intellectual curiosity is nurtured and standards are set. Long established as a platform for open dialogue\, the festival champions free expression and welcomes speakers from every background\, faith\, field and tradition. \n\n\n\nOver the decades\, it has hosted Nobel\, Booker and Pulitzer Prize winners\, former world leaders\, pioneering scientists\, political thinkers\, environmentalists\, philosophers\, artists and writers from across the globe. \n\n\n\nThe festival also curates a series of international programmes\, shining a spotlight on the literature and culture of nations and regions including India\, Africa\, the USA\, Ireland\, Spain\, Italy and China. Oxford’s richly multicultural character provides an ideal setting for this global exchange of ideas. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFestival hub\n\n\n\nBlackwell Hall at the Weston Library will once again become the beating heart of the festival. The space will feature a dedicated festival bookshop run by Blackwell’s\, alongside the ever-popular café\, comfortable seating areas and access to free Bodleian exhibitions. Visitors can browse books\, meet friends between events and soak up the festival atmosphere. \n\n\n\nTicket holders can also enjoy 10% off in the Bodleian Libraries gift shops (exclusions apply). An information desk will be available in the hall for enquiries\, while last-minute tickets can be purchased at event doors (card only)\, online or by phone. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenues\n\n\n\nEvents take place across a range of iconic Oxford venues\, including the Sheldonian Theatre\, the Bodleian Library\, the Weston Library\, Worcester College\, Trinity College\, St John’s College\, Exeter College\, Lincoln College\, Pusey House and the Oxford Martin School. Many venues are just a few minutes’ walk from Blackwell’s Bookshop\, creating an intimate\, easy-to-navigate festival experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nPlease visit the festival website for a full line-up of leading authors and public figures in the festival. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOxford Literary Festival venue map\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGetting there\n\n\n\nBy trainOxford is well served from all areas of the country.
