Wimbledon BookFest is an arts and education charity working at the heart of our community.
The vital support we receive from our Friends not only helps to secure the future of the Festival, but also powers our education work with local schools, helping to improve rates of literacy and reading for pleasure across South London.
Benefits include priority booking, no booking fee during priority period and access to our specially curated archive of recordings, including NEW events from our 2025 Festival.
Wimbledon BookFest Friends receive priority booking on tickets and are the first to know about news and events. Packages start at just £35.
