Leiston Book festival organises and delivers an annual literary festival that brings together authors, readers, publishers, schools and the wider community through a programme of talks, workshops and educational events. The festival provides cultural, educational and social benefits by encouraging reading, literacy and life-long learning for people of all ages. It works with schools, libraries, community organisations and local businesses to increase access to literary events, inspire young people to read and write, and support authors and creative talent.
The company generates income through ticket sales, sponsorship and other fundraising activities, which are reinvested to support the delivery and development of thefestival and its community programmes
