The Big Little Book Festival
Since 2013, BeaconLit Festival has celebrated a love for literature with the local community. Our committee of volunteers organise an event-filled day with quality authors and quality conversation in the intimate setting of the school hall. All profits from the book festival are reinvested into the Beacon Villages Community Libraries.
With just meters between you and the authors, BeaconLit is a rare chance to talk openly to published writers and fellow literary lovers. From one-on-one interviews and panel discussions to the new addition of a poetry circle and announcing the winners of our flash fiction competition, there truly is something for everyone. After each 50-minute session there is an opportunity to purchase books and have them signed.
BeaconLit began life in 2013 as a half-day book festival squeezed into some dead time in Ivinghoe Summer Festival's marquee on Ivinghoe Lawn. Our purpose was, and remains, to raise much needed funds for the library that serves the village communities surrounding Ivinghoe Beacon in the Chilterns. The festival website helps with this publicity.
That small festival spawned a full-day event that has taken place every year apart from 2020. We are most grateful for Brookmead School, Ivinghoe, for becoming our regular home. We are run and staffed entirely by volunteers, and perhaps it's this local pulling together that creates the warm, village atmosphere that authors and audiences alike seem to love.
At the same time, we are proud of our reputation as a high quality event that attracts best sellers, exciting new authors, and a wealth of eclectic talent from the book world. If you love books, whether as a reader, a writer or both, you're sure to love BeaconLit!
We will only send you news about the BeaconLit festival and other BeaconLit events and will never share your details with any third party.
