Whitby’s first literary weekend starts this Thursday for 4 days. Some really interesting authors and workshops for all ages 📚📖
📚✨ Whitby Lit Fest kicks off this Thursday!
From 6–9 November, Whitby welcomes its first-ever literary festival — four days of author talks, storytelling, and creative inspiration by the sea. 🌊
Headline names include Lee Child, Miriam Margolyes, Sir Alan Ayckbourn, and Steph McGovern, alongside more than 50 authors taking part in events across town, with the main hub at Hetty & Betty on Baxtergate.
Festival chair Lois Kirtlan says they’re “proud of the incredible line-up” and ready to give everyone a warm Whitby welcome. ❤️
Whitby’s literary roots run deep — from Bram Stoker to Lewis Carroll — and now the town’s next chapter begins. ✍️📖
