Wimbledon Bookfest announce dates for two summer festivals Organisers at Wimbledon BookFest have announced plans for two summer festivals this year. The ‘Sunrise’ and ‘Sunset’ festivals will be held in June and September for five days each on Wimbledon Common. Wimbledon BookFest was one of the few live literary festivals to take place last year. It successfully pivoted its normal 10-day festival in October to hold a long weekend of coronavirus safe events in the summer, when a window of opportunity opened for open-air events. The Last Days of Summer Weekend took place in September in a ‘roof-only’ marquee and featured a diverse line-up of speakers including Lemn Sissay, Jessie Burton, Ruby Wax, Andy Hamilton, Matthew Syed, as well as David Cameron’s only UK live event last year.
