The Friends of Clifton Centre and Library are pleased to again present the annual Clifton Litfest.

Friends of Clifton Centre and Library bring this much loved literary festival to the City of Bristol from 13th - 15th November 2026.

Now a distinctive fixture on the UK’s literary calendar, the festival is known for its thoughtful curation and welcoming atmosphere. For three days, Clifton Village becomes a meeting point for readers, writers and thinkers. Spanning politics, history, memoir, nature and more, the programme offers fresh perspectives, lively conversation and moments of reflection, all shaped by a shared belief in the power of stories. Full programme coming soon.
