LLLook out fior LLL's brand new festival 'friends' scheme - THE CLLLUB. Launched only this autumn, we're offering subscribers who join before October 28th free invitations to our End of Festival Party and free tickets to our winter warmer at the All Saints Centre on Friday 14 December with Will Self and Ralph Steadman.Welcome to the Lewes Live Lit website
You may have heard that Lewes Live Lit has had its regular funding axed by Arts Council England. This is true. But fear not. Our artistic vision - developed over the last year - is all about moving away from the traditional format of the literature festival. We are enthusiastic about the future, with ambitious plans to put LLL at the cutting edge of contemporary live literature production.
Projects in the pipeline include Free Speech - a festival for young people in June 2009 - as part of the Festival of Words consortium.

A curated season of new and original first-time live literature events during 2009
Look out, too, for our forthcoming events in support of East Sussex Arts Partnership and Eastbourne Festival, our schools' events for World Book Day organised in partnership with New Writing South and our continuing workshop programme. The last in the current series of Poetry Masterclasses with Mimi Khalvati on 24 May.
Artistic Director, Mark Hewitt
