Lee Child to Headline Whitby Literature Festival 2025
We’re so excited to begin sharing details of Whitby Lit Fest 2025 with you!
Since we announced the Festival last November we’ve been busy behind the scenes. The organisers have been meeting regularly to put plans in place. We’ve been connecting with authors, arranging venues and putting together a fantastic programme of events.
Whitby Lit Fest 2025 is running from 6th – 9th November 2025.
Ticket Sales
Tickets will be available to purchase online via our website. Keep an eye out for announcements when tickets go on sale!
Venue Details
We’re pleased to be working with several of Whitby’s wonderful venues. Two of our primary venues will be:
Eighteen91 Whitby
Step into a world where history and modern culture collide. Eighteen91 is not just a venue; it’s an experience, a moment, a memory in the making.
Whitby Pavilion Theatre
Whitby’s historic theatre, part of Whitby Pavilion, is an intimate setting, perfect for enjoying an evening’s entertainment, inspiring talk or literary event.
