Evesham is known as a festival town and the year-long annual Evesham Festival of Words has greatly enhanced that reputation.

The Festival celebrates all things word – written, sung and spoken. With a diverse range of speakers and performers, from near and far, it attracts book-lovers, authors and those who just like a good story. 

With small friendly events, our attendees have the chance to meet their favourite author or performer, or just chat to like-minded folk.The picturesque town of Evesham, with its historic buildings, charming riverside setting, and varied range of venues, adds greatly to the Festival’s character. Join us in celebrating the power of words to connect, inspire and entertain.
