The Llangwm Literary Festival

Llangwm Literary Festival is a charming celebration of books, creativity, and ideas held in the picturesque village of Llangwm, overlooking the Cleddau Estuary. For 2026, the festival runs from Friday 7th to Sunday 9th August, offering a weekend full of engaging talks, workshops, storytelling sessions, and activities for all ages. Its intimate scale gives visitors a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for connecting with authors, fellow readers, and the local community.

The festival features a mix of author talks, panel discussions, and creative writing workshops, as well as fun sessions for children to spark a love of reading and storytelling. Many events take place in small village venues, which creates a personal and interactive experience, allowing attendees to ask questions, meet speakers, and enjoy the scenic surroundings while exploring literature.

Beyond the literary side, the festival also showcases local food, drink, and art, making it a well-rounded cultural weekend. Past editions have included media literacy workshops, children’s storytelling, and sessions with award-winning authors, blending learning, entertainment, and inspiration. The 2026 edition promises to continue this tradition, offering a unique opportunity to celebrate the written word in a beautiful Pembrokeshire setting.

It’s an ideal event for anyone passionate about books, interested in creative writing, or simply looking for a cultural weekend by the estuary, combining literature with community and coastal charm.
