Sherborne Travel Writing Festival

Girlings is delighted to be a sponsor of the 2023 inaugural Travel Writing Festival in Sherborne.

April 14th – 16th 2023

Curated by Rory MacLean

These last years have brought dramatic changes to our lives: Brexit, Covid lockdowns, soaring energy costs, climate change and the largest, most brutal war in Europe since 1945. While our horizons have drawn in, travel writers have continued to reach out, rediscovering and reinterpreting the world for a new age.  Ten of the UK’s finest travel writers are coming to Sherborne to transport readers, listeners, armchair and intrepid travellers alike towards the four corners of the globe. 

At its heart is the idea – and the timely theme – of reaching for the horizon. To propel the journey, a stellar lineup of top writers will take to the stage at the Powell Theatre.

Across the weekend Colin Thubron, Jay Griffiths, Anthony Sattin, Sara Wheeler, John Gimlette, Sophy Roberts, Justin Marozzi, Philip Marsden, John Blashford-Snell, Demi Anter and Rory MacLean  will transport people across the world.
