Books on Tyne - The Newcastle Book Festival: The Lit and Phil

Calling all bookworms! Newcastle's annual book festival, Books on Tyne, is back for another year bringing together the best writers from the region and beyond for a programme packed with fascinating talks and events.

Taking place at both The Lit & Phil and the City Library, the programme offers something for readers of all kinds of persuasions - from talks on books about the long-forgotten prison that once stood in Newcastle to the history of the World Cup.
