Applications have now closed for the 2026 Huddersfield Literature Festival!
Thank you for all your applications.
PLEASE NOTE: every year we get significantly more applications than we have available slots in the programme. As we also have limited budgets, we generally prioritise local performers. Due to the number of applications, we regret that we will only contact those who are being offered a slot. The programme is usually finalised by the middle-end of January. If you have not heard from us by then, your application has not been selected; however, we would encourage you to apply for the next festival.
