Queen's Park Book Festival

“This is an oasis of sanity.” Howard Jacobson, New Statesman

Queen’s Park is a hidden, family-friendly gem in North West London centred around a 30 acre park surrounded by beautiful Victorian homes. We are the only London book festival to be held solely in a public park and the area boasts a wonderful literary history as a home to authors, artists, poets and actors for generations.

Authors who have attended the festival include local bestselling novelist Zadie Smith, award winning authors Tessa Hadley, John Lanchester, Guy Gunaratne, Lucy Hughes-Hallett, Jonathan Coe, Philip Hensher and Booker prize-winning novelists Howard Jacobson, Eleanor Catton and Bernardine Evaristo. The festival celebrates the literary arts in all its forms and has welcomed directors Stephen Frears and Nicholas Hytner as well as the acclaimed actors Simon Russell Beale and Reece Shearsmith.

The festival returns on 2 and 3 September 2023.

Must be hard for him, being talentless and married to someone much more successful.

If you’re envious or jealous then just say it. No need to be nasty

Super "fun" to watch the beginning minutes unaware that Laird and Smith are married. I kept thinking "Look at that dude take over the physical space on the couch, like he owns the whole thing." Interesting! (Love her novel "White Teeth," her essays; like the poem he reads at the start.)

Authorship is like a super-power; like being a musician - a tune appears in your head and in 6 months people on the other side of the world are grooving to it!
