The Queen's Park Book Festival is back on 30–31 August, bringing a jam-packed weekend of author talks, comedy, and children's events to one of London's most creative spaces. This year's lineup includes Hanif Kureishi, Kate Summerscale, and Rob Cowen, promising lively discussions on a range of topics, from fiction and nonfiction to current affairs.
It's set in the leafy heart of Queen's Park and boasts a rich history of welcoming notable names, including Zadie Smith, Bernardine Evaristo, Sebastian Faulks, and Alan Bennett, alongside emerging talent. The Queen's Park Community Tent is a highlight, which champions local artists, young poets, refugees, and underrepresented voices, ensuring the festival celebrates the city's diversity as much as its literary pedigree.
Whether you're after a thought-provoking author talk, a laugh at the comedy night, or a family-friendly event, the festival is a must-visit for a weekend steeped in culture, creativity, and stories. Tickets can be booked here.
