About this Event

Welcome to the Innsmouth Literary Festival 26!

Date: September 19th, 2026

Our fourth year will see the usual unique Innsmouthian blend of authors, artists, traders and gaming. Plus a Friday night quiz and Innsmouth After Dark.

All attendees get a goody bag, there are photo ops, the chance to chat with authors, and panels and presentations throughout the day.

This year's Guest of Honour are author/editor Stephen Jones and fantasy artist Les Edwards. Plus a range of authors including John Houlihan, Anna Smith-Spark, David Hambling, Marco Visconti, Heather Miller, CJ Hooper, Alexandra Beaumont, Simon Bleaken, with more TBA.

And if that isn't enough, the fun continues from 7pm with Innsmouth After Dark at local music venue, featuring spoken word and music, all overseen by our Eldritch Master of Ceremonies, comedian and poet CJ Hooper.

All the above are included in our ticket price. Full details will be forwarded post booking
