About Us

Welcome to the Redruth Book Feast 2024. This is our second year and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed putting it together for you. Redruth is a great little town buzzing with creativity and host to much of Cornwall’s cultural life. We thought it was time Redruth had its own book festival.

All our invited speakers have a connection to Cornwall and the Southwest and much of their work is influenced by their own personal experience of living, working and growing up in this beautiful place. But is all as idyllic as it seems to the outside world?

We have worked closely with the Redruth Drapery to host our event. It’s a fabulous venue not least because it enables people to sit talk to each other between sessions. We hope this event will entertain, inform, and inspire you, and that conversations will go on between and after the sessions over cake, coffee, brunch or lunch.

We have made ‘good food’ a part of our Book feast offer, and our Saturday evening event is a real feast with a relaxed dinner and inspiring after dinner talk from Bill Buckley.
