Our  Story

Our Festival celebrates reading, writing and creativity and is a collaborative project, co-ordinated by the Librarians of twelve secondary schools across Swindon. Throughout the festival week, students work with authors, poets and illustrators who visit schools for performances and workshops. In 2023 we are celebrating the 16th year of the Swindon Youth Festival of Literature (SYFL) and we are proud to have attracted so many wonderful and diverse authors and performers over the years. We look forward to what 2023 will bring.
