Thank you so much for an absolutely wonderful event last night. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed being back in beautiful Hexham - thank you for everything you and the team did to make it all run so smoothly.
Tracy Borman
I feel incredibly lucky to have this festival on my doorstep. It is world class.
Hexham Book festival is a leading creative force in the Northumbrian cultural landscape, with a positive impact on the lives of so many. Locally based, outward-facing, brilliantly organised, and recognised by writers and readers as one of the attractive and dynamic literary festivals.
