The Marlborough Book Festival is an annual weekend of wonderful writers, curious audiences and beautiful Marlborough locations.
“What a glorious weekend of inspiration and warmth. I felt so privileged and excited to be there - had an amazing time listening to speakers and meeting local people, and came away fueled with new thought, goodwill, and literary energy.”
