Wrexham Carnival of Words is returning for another successful year.
Wrexham Carnival of Words has become a key feature of the city’s cultural calendar, offering a week-long celebration of literature every April.
Since it’s establishment in 2015, the festival has grown in both scale and reputation, attracting audiences from across the region.
Delivered by a dedicated team of volunteers in collaboration with Wrexham Library and Information Service team, the itinerary features a wide range of events, including author talks, poetry readings, workshops, and interactive sessions.
Activities are delivered in both English and Welsh, reflecting Wrexham’s bilingual identity and ensuring inclusivity.

Events like this really complement the work of our libraries and help foster a lasting love of literature within our communities, it is encouraging to see the festival continue to grow and engage audiences of all ages.”
