Literary Escape Festival at Percy Community Centre

The Literary Escape Festival is a one-day grassroots book festival celebrating independent authors, local creatives, and small businesses. Designed to bring readers and makers together, the festival offers a welcoming and inclusive space to discover new voices, connect with authors, and enjoy a vibrant bookish atmosphere.

Taking place at the Percy Community Centre in Bath, the event will feature book signings and a curated selection of handmade items from independent makers. Visitors can browse stalls, meet the people behind the books, and spend the day immersed in stories, creativity, and community.

The Literary Escape Festival is part of a touring uk-wide festival series in 2026, supporting independent literature and creative entrepreneurship while creating accessible and affordable cultural events for local communities.
