Cliveden is the magnificent English country house with a unique and extraordinary history of politics and intrigue, aristocracy and espionage, sex and scandal.
Time and again, Cliveden itself has become a character in the story of these isles. Ever since 1666, the house has also been known for its literary salon, helping to inspire writers from Alexander Pope and George Bernard Shaw, Jonathan Swift and Lord Tennyson to Sir Winston Churchill. The Cliveden Literary Festival evokes the spirit of the great writers and potentates who stayed here and continues the tradition of the house as a sanctuary for lovers of literature.
Established in 2017, the Festival has featured a stellar international cast of novelists, historians, screenwriters, film directors, actors, spies, generals and politicians. Sitting regally amid 400 acres of greenery, gardens trailing down to the River Thames, it is easy to see why Cliveden has provided such an inspiring setting for so many writers.
Details of the event programme and speakers can be found on Cliveden Literary Festival's website here.
