Canton Book Festival

Join us for the first ever Canton Book Festival. The programme of events is organised by Parthian Books and features a brilliant line-up of talented local authors. All events are free and will be taking place at Chapter, Canton Library and St Canna's - all in Canton, Cardiff.

St Canna's will have a range of brilliant beers, ciders and soft drinks available to keep us going throughout the quiz and there will be literary prizes for the winning team.

All events are free but in the spirit of Fair Saturday (30 November) we are encouraging donations to Chapter, who are a registered arts charity and our hosts for the majority of the programme. Your generous donations will help Chapter continue to support talented artists, fund their community missions, bring outstanding exhibitions to Cardiff, and much more. A contactless donation device will be available throughout the festival if you'd like to donate.
