We have just finalised our programme for the first ever Bristol New Writers Festival, which will be taking place at the Bristol Folkhouse on September 5-6, 2026. Lots of exciting talks and workshops are set to take place, including successful local writers Sarah Dunant, Helen Taylor, Sophia Vahdati and Bertel Martin.

Bristol New Writers Festival is a new literary event dedicated to celebrating creativity at its earliest stages. It is an offshoot from the highly successful and steadily growing Bristol Writing Collective who meet to write at various times and places across the city every week.

We're a not-for-profit, writer-led initiative aiming to provide a welcoming space for emerging writers and complete beginners to explore the craft of writing, while also showcasing local talent.

Take part in our hands-on workshops and inspiring conversations and join us as we write a new chapter in Bristol’s vibrant literary scene!
