Back for its ninth year, Marlborough LitFest has released the programme for its most anticipated event.

This year Marlborough LitFest has more than 30 events over four days which includes talks from authors, writing workshops and open mic poetry.

One of the headlining events this year will be led by David Walliams in talks about his selection of children’s books.

LitFest Committee member Kay Newman said: "We've asked him for years and finally he said yes.

"Big names are fantastic but the smaller ones are a surprise  - I think they're the ones who are the hidden gems.

"We focus on good writing and supporting young writers."

LitFest Organiser Francesca Del Mar added: "It's a small fest but it's growing each year - we try and do something for everyone and everyone leaves inspired. We call it the 'home of good writing'."

Marlborough LitFest 2018 will be taking place from 27 to 30 September. For the full programme visit www.marlboroughlitfest.org
