BARE LIT 2020
For public safety, we've decided to put Bare Lit 2020 on hold until further notice. We'll continue monitoring the crisis and will announce new dates when the situation improves.
In the meantime, our team wishes you health and strength – don't forget that reading and writing are essential in times like these!
Love, Mend and Henna xx

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS THIS FESTIVAL GOING TO BE ALL HIGH-BROW AND LITERARY?
We're a festival celebrating all kinds of writing - from writing for stage and screen to poetry and journalism. We don't take ourselves too seriously and everything is open, accessible and carried out with a generous pinch of fun.
I'M NOT SURE. SHOULD I JUST COME NEXT YEAR?
We make every year different and new. We don't cover old ground and we don't tend to have the same artists year on year. In short, if you miss it this year, you will miss out!
I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO IS GOING. CAN I COME ALONE?
For sure! Its so warm you'll definitely meet some new people if you'd like to, or you can hang solo - up to you.
IS BARE LIT OPEN TO CHILDREN?
Yes! We’re really excited to have a dedicated children’s section this year, Lit Kids. We’ll announce more info on our programme page soon.
CAN BARE LIT HELP WITH MY CAREER? I'M A WRITER/POET/PUBLISHER OF COLOUR.
For sure! There's loads of people at Bare Lit eager to meet with you and connect. Plus we have specific workshops and sessions to help you.
