Calderdale is becoming renowned for its excellent Reader’s and Writers’ Festival – a fantastic celebration of writing talent, poetry, creativity and books.

This year’s Festival started in August but it continues into October with a month of exciting events for both readers and writers.

The festival will include author events, writing workshops, book swaps and quizzes, as well as fun for both children and adults alike.

Events take place at locations all over Calderdale, including Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd, birthplace of former poet laureate and author, Ted Hughes. Events celebrating the life and work of Mytholmroyd’s most famous son will take place in the village on 23rd to 25th October 2009.

There will be plenty of other literary events taking place in libraries and other venues around Calderdale. You’ll be so inspired to grab a book and start reading that you’ll need to book some comfortable accommodation in which to curl up with a good book.
