✨ And just like that, the 17th Chiswick Book Festival closes!

Our finale at Hogarth’s House saw Daniel Swift reveal The Dream Factory—the Shoreditch playhouse where Shakespeare became Shakespeare.

Thanks to all who joined us for another brilliant celebration of books, ideas & conversation. 📚

Big thanks to our Diamond Partner @Waterstones Chiswick for keeping the Festival buzzing with books all weekend!

📚 Just look at that queue for William & Sam Dalrymple’s signing. 💥

A big moment for #ChiswickBookFest 💛

This year will be Jo James’ last as Programme Director. Jo has brought world-class writers & unforgettable events to Chiswick for over a decade – she’ll be hugely missed.
