About Us
The Marlborough Book Festival is run by the Marlborough Readers & Writers Charitable Trust. The festival is organised by a committee of volunteers - a number of whom are captured below post the 2021 festival. We are also assisted by a number of other volunteers who kindly help out over the festival weekend.

We are book lovers who felt it was time Marlborough had a writers' festival of its own, and set about making that happen. We were encouraged from the beginning by the enthusiasm people had for the idea, and held the inaugural event in July 2014.
We’ve been blown away by the wonderful support from our sponsors and supporters. These Marlborough businesses who love reading as much as we do have enabled this festival and given it a special Marlborough flavour.
