Brighton Book Festival 2025 runs from June 18 to 22 in central Brighton, with 17 in-person events and four global online sessions. Launched in 2022 by Afrori Books and The Feminist Bookshop, its mission—“Make the marginalised mainstream”—has become a beacon of inclusive literature .
A full Festival Pass for £70 unlocks every author talk, workshop, panel, roundtable, theatre and poetry session and is the same price as 2024.
Featured marquee events include Sancho & Me – For One Night Only on June 18, Is That My Voice? an online panel with Meera Ghanshamdas & co on June 19 and Telling the Untold at the Brighthelm Centre on June 21.
The festival draws bestselling and emerging authors, activists, poets, families, and local literary enthusiasts as well as audiences keen on social justice, refugee narratives, romance, food writing, comedy, beauty journalism, and more .
This is a social-purpose not-for-profit event focused on diversity and amplifying marginalised voices with a vibrant mix of in-person and online accessibility, making it both local and global . There are also hands-on elements like writers’ workshops, industry networking, and “AuthorPreneurship” sessions
