The Romance Writing Festival brings a day dedicated to romance fiction to Bournemouth on Saturday 3 October 2026. It is a festival celebrating the writing of the genre, gathering readers, aspiring authors and established writers to share in the craft of romantic storytelling.
What to expect
As a celebration of romance fiction writing, the day is built around the genre and the people who love it — a chance to talk about writing, meet fellow readers and enjoy the stories that keep the genre so popular. The exact programme can vary, so it is worth checking the official listing closer to the time for the full line-up and schedule.
