A DATE has been set for this year's Bridport Literary Festival.

Barring any coronavirus related obstructions, the 2021 event will run from Sunday, November 7 to Saturday, November 13.

The Bridport Literary Festival has been running since 2015 and sees writers and audiences attending from all over the country.

Last year's festival was scheduled to go ahead in November with various acts announced for a reduced programme at Bridport Arts Centre and the Electric Palace. However, the event had to be cancelled just days before it was due to take place, as a result of the second national lockdown.

There is no indication as of yet to when tickets will be available to purchase, but the organising team behind the festival has said moire information will be published as the year progresses.
