That’s a wrap on Felixstowe Book Festival 2026! 📚🌊

A huge thank you to every single person who joined us this weekend — to our incredible authors who shared their stories, ideas and inspiration, and to every reader who came along and made the festival the special event it is.

We're very sorry to share that tomorrow's event with Simon Barnes — How to Fly: Taking Wing with Birds, Bats, Insects and Humans — has had to be CANCELLED due to unforeseen circumstances.

All ticket holders will receive a full refund. We're so sorry for the disappointment.

Great news — tomorrow's talk with author Helen Bain just got a little bigger! 📚

We've released a few extra seats for what was a sold-out event, so if you missed out first time, now's your chance! 🎟
