Become a CLF member
Cambridge Literary Festival is a small charity run by an even smaller team.
The support from our friends, benefactors and patrons helps us bring some of the world’s greatest writers, speakers and thinkers to the city. When the pandemic hit in 2020 we reimagined how we operate to provide events online and in Cambridge.
However big or small your support is, it is incredibly valuable.
Thank you.
