A literary festival set in the spectacular cathedral city of Lincoln. Next edition 02-05 October 2025. 📖
Lincoln, UK
Joined August 2015
For our final day, the festival moves uphill to Lincoln’s historic quarter. The festival hub relocates to the Blue Room at the Lawn for box office, book sales and enquiries. As closing chapters go, this should be memorable. #lovelincoln #lincolnbookfestival #whatsonLincoln

THE MERCY STEP by @marciahut ‘Mercy loves school almost more than Dolly (who is definitely not allowed to go). From that very first day she stopped being Mummy’s shadow and swivelled her gaze towards knowledge.’ As great a work as Jeanette Winterson’s ORANGES ARE NOT THE ONLY
