The Mere Literary Festival, taking place from October 12 to 18, will once again bring leading UK authors to the Wiltshire town for its 29th year. With events spanning fiction, crime, history, travel, culture, cooking, and motor racing, organisers say the week-long festival offers "something for everyone." "Our Festival team all volunteers have brought vision, experience and determination to deliver a week of events of which Mere & South Wiltshire can be proud. We warmly welcome residents and visitors alike to a memorable and inspiring Mere Literary Festival." Mere Literary Festival also holds workshops with local schools.
