The Sherborne Travel Writing Festival
 

While our horizons have drawn in, travel writers have continued to reach out, rediscovering and reinterpreting the world for a new age. The Sherborne Travel Writing Festival was the first travel literature festival to be held in the UK in recent years. At its heart was the idea – and the timely theme – of reaching for the horizon. 

​

The 2026 festival is now over. It was another huge success with a shining array of speakers, complemented by the presentation of the inaugural Sherborne Prize for Travel Writing to Adam Weymouth for Lone Wolf. We are already looking forward to next year. Don't miss it - subscribe to our mailing list now,

 

The Festival returns across the weekend of 9-11 April 2027.
