Cheltenham Literature Festival, 2022
October 7, 2022 - October 16, 2022
Could there be a more appropriate setting for The Times and The Sunday Times Cheltenham Literature Festival than the historic Regency spa town of Cheltenham?
Originally held in the town hall, the leading UK festival of the word was the world’s first literary festival. It forms a key part of the Cheltenham Festivals season.

Cheltenham: The Perfect Setting
Since therapeutic mineral waters were discovered there in the early 18th Century, Cheltenham has been a magnet for visitors.
On the edge of the Cotswolds with its gentle, quintessentially English scenery, Cheltenham is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with The River Chelt flowing through the town on its way to the River Severn. Unsurprisingly, with this scenic location, the town is home to several festivals throughout the year, as the Cheltenham Festivals, including this world famous Literary Festival, which is held every October.
Previous people appearing at the festival
