Support the Festival with a donation. Deptford Literature Festival celebrates local talent and introduces exciting new writers from Lewisham and nearby boroughs. We want everyone to be able to join in the workshops, readings, events and community projects for free. We do not want finances to be a barrier to anyone taking part. If you are in a position to make a donation, please give a gift today. Anything you give will help more people come to future Festivals for free. Our typical ticket price, without donations, is £10.
