Literary Festival for Welshpool

Welshpool is in the initial stages of organising a Literary Festival.

Southern Powys has become renowned as a home of literature following the success of the annual Hay Festival which now has offshoots across the world.

And initial steps are being taken to set a brand new festival up in Welshpool.

“There is so much going on in Welshpool that involves sport, music or comedy so it would be nice for a more refined arts festival to be hosted by the town,” said a spokesperson.

If you would like to get involved, there is an initial meeting on November 12 at 6.30pm in the library. If you can’t attend but like more information, contact alan60s@live.com.
