Leeds Lit Fest 2025

Leeds Lit Fest is a volunteer-run festival that puts the grass-roots writing communities of the city at the heart of its programming. In its seventh year in 2025, most of its annual programmes have been staged without significant local or national funding.

Donating to LLF helps to keep the festival running. A Pay What You Can donation of £10 or over gives you early access to tickets before they go on general sale, and secures your invitation to a Friends of LLF social event. All donations raised through Friends of LLF will go towards core festival costs - paying writers and performers and getting the word out so we can connect audiences with established and emerging talent.
