Welcome to the
Wantage (not just) Betjeman Literary Festival

This festival continues the vision which came to fruition last year. John Betjeman had a long association with the town and the festival aims to celebrate both his work and that of other writers and poets.

But not just Betjeman…!

We’ve already been busy arranging various events with lots more to come. Please also note slight change to our Festival name and main Festival dates.

I hope that you will enjoy the 2012 programme of literary events, which includes something for all ages and all levels of interest in reading and poetry.

Jim Mitchell,
Festival Artistic Director
