Felixstowe Book Festival is entirely run by a team of volunteers who believe that events such as ours are vital for the economic, artistic, social and creative prosperity of our community. We want people of all ages and all backgrounds to have the opportunity to experience the wonder of the written word and as such we seek to deliver high quality events at a very reasonable rate to our audiences. There is of course still a financial cost to our work and we are always on the look out for support. If you or your business could help (in terms of finance or support in kind) then please do contact the Festival Director, Meg Reid, by emailing: meg@megreid.co.uk or telephoning: 01394 279783.
