Chiswick Book Festival
About the festival
A volunteer-run literary festival in west London, running since 2009 and raising funds for local causes. Its programme mixes national names with walks and talks rooted in Chiswick itself -- the Beatles at Chiswick House, the riverside writers, the Bedford Park houses.
