Celebrate stories by the sea with Eastbourne LitFest, a new three-day literary festival bringing authors, readers and events to venues across the town.

Eastbourne LitFest launches in 2026 with a packed three-day programme of literary events taking place at venues across Eastbourne.

The festival is designed for a broad audience, with events for adults, teenagers, children and families, and a programme built around books, writing, storytelling and live discussion.

The official festival programme includes a wide range of ticketed events, with booking now open through Eastbourne LitFest.

Because activities take place at different venues and times across the weekend, visitors should check the official programme before attending to confirm the location and timing of the particular event they want to see.
