We are delighted to be back for another year of LitFest!
We have an action-packed schedule for the 2026 version, and we’d be absolutely thrilled to see both familiar and new faces.
We’re putting on events between the 14th and 21st of March, inclusive. Full details and links to tickets are available on this website, through our Facebook page and eventbrite; please contact admin@seahavenpoets.co.uk if you need further information.
As ever, we strive to keep all of our events accessible and open to all. Our ticket prices are subsidised for all our events at this year’s LitFest, because of the generosity of Seaford Town Council and the Chalk Cliff Trust, to whom we are very grateful.
It is important to us that we are able to keep our ticket prices low. This is genuinely a great opportunity to access events by our contributors at a very well discounted price.
We’ve selected different venues this year, and changed up the programming.
There will be a day in Newhaven, for the first time, and we are very pleased to welcome back our core of contributors, plus a couple of new faces.
Thank you to everyone who supports LitFest, and thank you to Seaford Town Council, and to the Chalk Cliff Trust, for their support to make LitFest 2026 a reality.
