Wimbledon BookFest 2026
When Until 25 OctWhere New Wimbledon Theatre and venues across Wimbledon, London SW19Price Varies by event; £10 tickets for 16–29-year-olds, family events typically £6–£12
Eleven days of proper literary conversation across a handful of intimate Wimbledon venues — Maggie O'Farrell, Matt Haig, Caitlin Moran and Elif Shafak headline this year, alongside a genuinely good children's and teen strand, including a manga draw-along.
A thoughtful date night or a first "real" festival for an older teen, and the new £10 ticket for 16–29s makes it easy to try without committing to a full-price evening.
