The du Maurier Fowey Literary Festival 2026

***Important news***

Due to circumstances beyond their control, the dates of The du Maurier Fowey Literary Festival 2026 will be slightly different. 

Routinely, the festival has always been in the week including Daphne du Maurier’s birthday on 13th May.

In 2026, the festival dates will be one week earlier than usual, and so will be from Friday 1st until Saturday 9th May 2026.

Please make a note of this in your diaries and book your accommodation early, as the new dates include a bank holiday, which is likely to mean that there will be more people in Fowey than usual during Festival week.
