50 years of Ilkley Literature Festival

50 years of ilkleyliterature festival

2023 marks a monumental milestone for our small yet mighty charity; founded in 1973, we are celebrating our golden anniversary! To celebrate the past 50 years and to ensure ‘50 moor’, we aim to fundraise £50,000.

If you are able to, please consider making a donation. Your support will ensure we can continue to deliver a wide-ranging and diverse programme of work, bring authors and poets of international renown to Ilkley, and continue to provide opportunities and access to emerging writers, children and young people in West Yorkshire!

Donate today and help us make it “50 moor years”
