The lineup spans world-renowned novelists, cultural commentators, environmental campaigners, poets and national treasures; cementing the festival’s place as a “key moment in the South West's cultural calendar”.

Running from Monday, October 20, to Sunday, October 26, the programme is set to reflect Falmouth’s history as a port and cultural crossroads, with recurring themes of the sea, the environment, and the importance of landscape on shaping Cornish life.
