Hawkesbury Upton Literary Festival

Young has for many years been involved in the UNESCO-led World Book Night as one of thousands of volunteer “book givers”. In 2015, she set up a small local event on the evening of 23 April (World Book Night) in The Fox Inn in Hawkesbury Upton. What started as a few author friends and village locals soon led to an invitation to the general public to join a full evening event with over 20 authors, poets and illustrators, celebrating the joy of reading with a series of panel discussions and public readings. [12]

In 2016, the festival returned, this time for a full day’s programme in multiple venues, and it has grown year on year since then. The fifth festival on Saturday 27 April 2019, once again coincided with World Book Night[13]
