Event Cancellations at Shrewsbury Festival of Literature 2020

I am so sorry to announce that we have had to cancel some of this year’s events at this year’s Festival due to low ticket sales.  It is not the first time we have had to do so but never before have we had to lose more than half the programme.

The following events have been cancelled:

Fri 27^th at 7.30pm - Let’s Talk with David Crystal

Sat 28^that 10.30am – Poetry, Performance and Process with Jean Atkin and Colin Wells

Sat 28^th at 1.00pm – Powered by Purpose with Sarah Rosenthuler

Sat 28^th at 3.00pm – Kindred with Rebecca Wragg-Sykes

Sun29th at 3.00pm – Shots in the Dark with David Kynaston

It is hoped that we can reschedule these authors to speak at ‘flesh-and-blood’ events in 2021.

Tickets will be refunded as soon as possible along with our sincere apologies.  I, too, was looking forward to these events.  Please join at us at any of the four remaining events…there’s still great entertainment on offer.

Tickets are £5.50 per event (£5 for us plus a booking fee).
