The Literary Escape Festival is coming to Bath for the very first time on Saturday 21 March 2026, bringing together readers, authors, small businesses, and creatives for a day celebrating books, storytelling, and community.
Following a successful debut in Edinburgh , the festival continues its UK tour, arriving in Bath to inspire and connect book lovers in one of the country’s most literary cities. The event will take place at Percy Community Centre, located in the heart of Bath and easily accessible from the city centre and Bath Spa train station.
