2026 Manchester Writing School Summer Festival
Step into the vibrant heart of Manchester’s literary scene with the 2026 Manchester Writing School Summer Festival (15–19 June). Hosted by Manchester Metropolitan University, this four-day celebration of creativity brings together writers working across multiple genres for an immersive programme of workshops, masterclasses, and readings.
With two days online (15-16 June) and two days in person (18-19 June), the festival offers a unique chance to experience one of the UK’s largest and most successful creative writing communities. Attend the full four days, just online, just in-person or select individual days or sessions to suit your availability and interests.
Sign-up to attend the Festival via Rise and the full programme will be sent to you in April so you can choose which individual sessions you would like to attend.
Attendance at the 2026 Summer Festival is free for all Manchester Met School of English and Manchester Writing School students. External attendees and alumni can register via the eStore.
