The Foreword Festival is coming to Eye in 2026!

We’re bringing fantastic books, authors, storytelling, poetry and more to Eye, Suffolk, over the weekend of 19th-21st June 2026. We’re lining up some big-name headliners, as well as themed author panels for Father’s Day and Suffolk Day, a children’s and YA book fair, and a family day out for the King’s Birthday! We’ll update the website as we finalise our plans, so keep checking back, and sign up to our newsletter to have our updates delivered to your inbox.
