Welcome

If you are interested in literature, the Humber Mouth Literature Festival presents a wide range of events featuring authors, speakers and artists from the UK and around the world.

The 2010 festival took place in Hull between 26 June and 11 July and we were proud to welcome authors such as Roger McGough, Andrew Motion, Roy Hattersley and many others. We also commissioned a range of projects by local writers and artists.

If you are interested in literature or would like to relive your experiences at the festival, download and listen to our 2010 podcasts. The 2010 Humber Mouth brochure is also available to download for more information about what activities took place.
