Event moves away from traditional festival for 2026
The organisers of Manx Litfest say they hope changing up the event will ‘keep even the most ardent literary fan happy’.
In a break from the traditional week-long festival events in 2026 are being spread throughout the year.
September and October will see a quiz night, writers’ day, celebration of poetry and writing retreat amongst others.
