With so many literary and cultural events focusing upon identity politics and seemingly captured by left-wing groupthink, many people have stopped attending these events. The New Culture Forum offers for the first time, a fresh and invigorating alternative to today's rather dreary, predictable and moralising publishing environment.

Free speech is the foundation upon which any tolerant society must be built. With a fantastic array of writers, speakers and publishers, this is your opportunity to get close to the heart of current debates, to meet some of your favourite and admired authors & journalists, and to buy signed copies of their books.

There will be stalls where you can meet representatives from our friends and like-minded organisations, such as the Free Speech Union, as well as surprise fringe events and more.

We have a packed programme planned for you!

As the first event of its kind, you will not want to miss this fantastic event! This is the literary festival the silenced majority have long been waiting for!

Open minds - open books!
