A large part of this year’s annual Darlington Arts Festival is dedicated to writers, both new and established, with a variety of events taking place across all four days.
You can learn more about published authors and how they work, or try your hand at writing poetry at the workshops, then read your work at the Open Mic night, or you could finally start writing your memoirs or that epic novel.
Please click on each event for further information, contacts, venue, cost and how to book (if applicable). For a full list of other events, visit the Festival 2019 page.
