The Wellington Literary Festival Committee is delighted to present this month-long programme of events for October 2009.
Thirteen years ago Wellington Town Council formed a working group of literary minded people who initiated the first week of literary events headed by Simon Brett the crime writer. The guiding principals for the Festival were as follows:
· To promote a wider range of literature to all ages
· To encourage local and budding authors/playwrights/poets by providing a platform for their work
· To be accessible for all
· To work in partnership with all sections of the community
