No marquees here!

Headingley is just the place for it! Don't expect a big circus with marquees, though: we're small, but perfectly formed. We're all volunteers as well.

Our venues include people's houses, friendly cafés, Headingley Library, Heart Centre and New Headingley Club.

Headingley has connections with many writers: Arthur Ransome (born in Headingley), J R R Tolkien (lived in Headingley when he was reader in English Language at the University of Leeds 1920 - 25), Alan Bennett (lived over a butcher's shop opposite the Three Horseshoes, now Royale Dry Cleaners), George Orwell (used to stay in Estcourt Terrace with his stepsister and her husband Humpy Dakin), T S Eliot (his mother-in-law lived in Weetwood Lane), William Fryer Harvey (brought up in Spring Bank), Trevor Griffiths (lived just off Victoria Road on Winstanley Terrace), Jon Silkin (the first office of STAND magazine was his flat at 144 Otley Road), Sir Geoffrey Hill (lived in Shire Oak Road), Peter Redgrove, and Kay Mellor (lives in Far Headingley) to name just a small selection.

Headingley LitFest 2011 was the fourth. The fifth one will take place in March 2012.
