Words by the Water Literature Festival :
2 – 11 March 2012

Theatre by the Lake in Keswick, Cumbria is the centre for this exciting literature festival organised by Ways With Words. For 10 days (from 2 – 11 March 2012) writers and readers get together to share the pleasure of books, words and ideas.

Theatre by the Lake, sited right on the edge of Derwentwater, is a striking venue for a full programme of literary events. There are talks, lectures, discussions, workshops, book launches and special exhibitions.
