The writers’ festival is an event dedicated to highlighting and providing a platform for local, national and international creative talent.

With such positive reviews and evaluation by our audience, Hammersmith & Fulham Writers’ Festival 2022 is set to take place across two days!!

20 – 21st August 2022, 10am – 6pm

@195 Wood Ln, London W12 7FQ

The festival platformed a host of authors, writers, playwrights, publishers and poets from across genres, and will be doubly as entertaining.

The idea for a writer’s festival came about during lockdown and after the women and girl’s community organisation, WILDE (women in literature development & empowerment) who host creative and empowerment events found that our borough had no writer’s festival.

The WILDE Foundation is using Eventbrite to organize 15 upcoming events. Check out The WILDEHammersmith & Fulham WritersFestival. Multiple Dates. Click here
