Barnes is justly regarded as a cultivated area of south west London. It has a long history of the patronage of the arts with a thriving Literary Society which recently celebrated its tenth anniversary.
It is also home to the premier children’s literary event The Barnes Children’s Literature Festival which each year welcomes thousands of visitors, not just from London and the south east, but from across the globe.
It was with this tradition in mind that the Barnes Bookshop, St Mary’s Church and Anne Mullins launched the Barnes BookFest in 2020.
Delayed by the pandemic, the inaugural weekend will now take place this September from the 24th – 26th. Speakers booked to appear include Gyles Brandreth, Sebastian Faulks, Simon Heffer and Andrew Graham-Dixon.

The BookFest has three venues: St Mary’s Church, the Olympic Studios and the Barnes Green Centre. All of them are at the heart of Barnes village and easily accessible by road, rail, bus and by foot (now that Hammersmith Bridge has reopened for pedestrians and cyclists).
