This does mean of course that our beloved Literary Festival will no longer be under our programming, but Bude Literary Festival will be continuing in a new guise and will be part of our own Cultural Programme in May 2025. The great news of course is that our partner, Richard Wolfenden-Brown of North Coast Arts, whom we have worked closely with since the start, in 2021, has teamed up with a small group of organisers who are able to continue the festival going forward. Richard and his team will be announcing news of the switch in leadership in the coming months, so look out for his posts on his North Coast Arts page and website.
