About Us

The Jersey Festival of Words is the island’s annual celebration of the power of language, literature, and storytelling.

Founded in 2015, the festival brings together a vibrant mix of acclaimed authors, emerging voices, poets, performers, and readers of all ages for a week of inspiring events. With a strong focus on community engagement, education, and accessibility, we aim to spark imagination, foster dialogue, and share the joy of words across Jersey and beyond.

Whether you’re a lifelong book lover or a curious newcomer, the festival offers something for everyone.

The Jersey Festival of Words is a registered charity and is organised by the Jersey Literary Festival Association (JLFA).
