Folkestone Book Festival
19 May 2021 - Published by Anna Grude
The Shape of Things to Come, the forward-looking Creative Folkestone Book Festival, will return this June. After a year away, for reasons that need no explanation, the festival will now take place across Folkestone and online from Friday 4 to Sunday 13 June 2021.
The festival continues to take its inspiration from the ideas and thoughts of H.G. Wells, born in Kent and a Folkestone resident for thirteen years. Writers, artists and thinkers will explore the possible futures of all sorts of issues, including race relations, the environment, technology, food, pandemics and Britain, Russia, Europe and the US.
