The Red Funnel Isle of Wight Literary Festival now in its 8th year takes place from 10-13 October at Northwood House, Cowes.

By bringing authors to the Isle of Wight to share their work the festival helps visitors experience the ideas, inspiration, entertainment and information that is unleashed when the pages of a good book are turned.

Once again a diverse programme is being created with fascinating authors sharing their enthusiasm for their subject, and unique insights in their latest work.
