YORK LITERATURE FESTIVAL 2026
28 February to 30 March
We are please to announce that tickets for all the events at the 2026 York Literature Festival are now available!
Due to huge demand, and the rapid sale of our season passes, we have decided to move York Festival of Hauntology to a larger venue. To make sure as many of you as possible can join us to celebrate Folk Horror and the Urban Wyrd, the events will now take place at York St John University Campus on the 21st and 22nd March.
Season pass tickets with the previous venue are valid at the new venue. Though these passes are sold out, do not worry! Single tickets for all of the author events, their prices and event timings can be found on the link above.
