About Books by the Beach

Books by the Beach festival is back for a long weekend on Friday 5th June, Saturday 6th June and Sunday 7th June.  With a selection of incredible authors appearing in person to chat about their latest books & personally signing at each event.

The 2026 Books by the Beach festival showcases best selling novelists and non-fiction authors from around the UK. We dive into fascinating worlds of history and politics, share stories of endurance and find solace in music and nature. True-crime rubs shoulders with thrillers and mysteries and we applaud dazzling debuts. We shine a light on Italian glassmaking and there’s a delicious taste of French Chocolat in the air!

Something for everyone at this year’s Books by the Beach – your perfect bookshelf brought to life.
