Leeds University to support literary festival

It has been confirmed that this year’s Ilkley Literature Festival (ILF) will be supported by Leeds University once again, marking its second year as a partner of this event.

This annual festival enjoys considerable prestige among members of the UK literary community and it is the longest-running and biggest event of its kind for the north of the country. A number of major figures have already been signed up for this year’s festival, including the likes of Kirsty Walk, Prue Leith, Clare Balding and Alastair Campbell. The Professor of Poetry at Leeds University and current Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage, will open the festival.

His presence will not be the only direct contribution that the university makes to the event, as writers who attend its Poetry Centre are set to give readings of some of their work. Promotional Posters for events like this are often created with the help of printers in Leeds that offer Logo Design services.

Speaking to the official website for the University of Leeds, Sir Alan Langlands, its Vice-Chancellor, said:

“Our partnership not only celebrates creative writing; it seeks to support, inspire and amplify our emerging talent and enhance the breadth of possibilities for future writers and performers.”


The festival will take place between 4th and 20th October and university staff will also be giving presentations on everything from dinosaurs to local beers.
