Portobello Book Festival was started by a group of local people who are interested in books and wanted to share their enthusiasm. It takes place each year over the first full weekend in October.

Our festival is based on the principle that everything is free and nobody is paid. That has been possible, partly, because of our fruitful collaboration with the local library, where many of the events are held. Events usually take place in various venues, and we try to make sure there is something for everyone.

We take every opportunity to ensure the details for Portobello Book Festival are accurate, if any of the above information is incorrect we would appreciate if you could take a minute to suggest an edit.
