CORONAVIRUSIn light of the increasing threat of the Coronavirus outbreak, it is with great sadness that we announce that this year’s Huddersfield Literature Festival is cancelled. Although we were able to run several successful pre-Festival events, we feel that we have to take this global pandemic seriously for the sake of our authors, performers, audiences, Festival team and volunteers. We will be making announcements about one or two events that we feel can potentially be rescheduled in the Autumn in due course. Ticket holders for other paid-for events will be issued with refunds as soon as possible. We would ask audiences to bear with us as we manage this process. As you can imagine, the Festival team are devastated to be in this position after all our hard work and planning, especially as we hoped to be able to support authors, performers, booksellers and suppliers again through our events this year. On behalf of myself and the Festival team, I’d like to thank you for your understanding at this difficult time and to send our hope that you will stay safe. Michelle Michelle Hodgson Festival Director
