SWINDON’S Festival of Literature has become an international sensation since it went online. The pandemic forced one of the biggest events in the town’s cultural calendar to go virtual but this had the unexpected bonus of allowing viewers and guests from around the world to take part. More than 40 events will premiere on Zoom and the festival’s YouTube channel throughout next week with a line-up of speakers that aims to intrigue and spark discussions as well as entertain. Acclaimed authors Jasper Fforde, Jon McGregor, Blake Morrison and Sally Bailey feature along with former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, guitarist Richard Durrant, former professional boxer Paddy Fitzpatrick and broadcaster Miranda Sawyer.
