Greater Morpeth Development Trust, in partnership with Northumberland Libraries, hosted the  3rd Morpeth Book Festival on Saturday 22nd  & Sunday 23rd March 2025.   

This year’s theme celebrated the transformative power of storytelling, exploring how words shape our world and connect us to one another.

The festival was held at St Georges United Reformed Church and  Morpeth Library, Gas House Lane.  The festival was opened by our Patron, Mari Hannah.
