About the event

Fresh from its debut in Edinburgh in 2025, the Literary Escape Festival is hitting the road in 2026 and it’s bringing the cosy magic of books, gifts, and creativity with it.

Step into a world where stories meet craftsmanship. Meet brilliant authors in person, discover your next favourite read, and even take home a signed copy (or a stack – we won’t judge). Wander through stalls from talented small businesses and crafters, where you’ll find everything from beautifully handmade bookmarks to scented candles and thoughtful gifts

Whether you're seeking hidden gems, eager to support local talent, or simply looking to indulge your inner bookworm, the Leamington Spa Book Extravaganza promises something special for every book lover.
