Festival Update

We would like to update you on the current situation with regard to BridLit 2020. We have put together a brilliant reduced festival this year running from Wednesday 4 – Saturday 7 November and plan to rotate this exciting programme of events between the Electric Palace and the Bridport Arts Centre. It is essential that each venue is cleaned thoroughly after every event and that social distance is adhered to. We believe this is the most appropriate way to manage matters. Both the Electric Palace and Arts Centre have created configurations of seating to ensure this.

We have decided to have an online brochure and you will be able to access all the information and book tickets as you have always done through the Bridport Tourist Information Centre Tel: No: 01308 424 901

Those writers who we are not able to feature in our shortened festival this year, will be invited to talk about their books at the Bridport Literary Festival of Nature and Travel Writing in early March 2021. Everyone is very enthusiastic about this new venture.

We are optimistic that this year Bridlit will go ahead with ‘live’ events in the Electric Palace and Bridport Art Centre and we can only hope that there isn’t another ‘spike’ in the virus which might affect us here in the west country.
