Cause UK will be working with the Ilkley Literature Festival again this year which takes place Friday 2 October – Sunday 18 October at the Kings Hall, Ilkley, and in venues across the town.
Poets, politicians and stars of stage and screen head to Ilkley for 17 days of talks, panels, poetry readings, writing workshops and performances.
The longest-standing literature festival in the north of England, Ilkley Literature Festival was established in 1973. Literary luminaries who have starred at the festival over the years include W.H. Auden, Alan Bennett, Maya Angelou, Ted Hughes and Margaret Atwood.
Expect the best for poetry, a packed children’s and Young Adult festival and interactive workshops and masterclasses with events at venues throughout the elegant spa town.
