Wallingford Literary Festival 2026
The 2026 OxIA Wallingford Literary Festival – supported by Wallingford Bookshop, Wallingford Town Council and Wallingford School – will be held on Saturday, 3rd October 2026 from 10am to 4pm in St. Mary’s Church, Wallingford and the Methodist Church, Wallingford.
The literary festival will provide a selection of stallholders in both locations that are independent authors (self or small press traditionally published) or businesses supporting the independent author sector. This will be supplemented by a series of children’s workshops at St. Mary’s Church and adult focused talks at the Methodist Church.
