Discover the Joy of Jewish Literature at Jewish Book Week 2026

Are you an avid reader, or just looking for the next big thing in literature? Jewish Book Week (JBW) returns this year from 28th February to 8th March, celebrating its 75th anniversary.

As London’s longest-running literary festival, it attracts an incredible range of award-winning authors and thinkers, offering an exciting programme of debates, talks, and performances both at Kings Place, London, and online.

The festival’s purpose is to inspire active engagement with Jewish books and ideas, cultivating a passion for the rich Jewish literary tradition. Through a variety of events, JBW highlights the profound relationship the Jewish community has with literature — a tradition that has sustained and shaped Jewish culture, strengthened our sense of peoplehood, and embodies our cultural identity and heritage.

This year’s programme has something for everyone. Discussions range from Faith after 7th October and showcases of new Jewish playwrights, to stand-up comedy and explorations of the future of Jewish art. With such a variety of sessions, tickets sell out quickly, so it’s worth booking early!

Special offers include:

• £5 tickets for under-30s

• Free online sessions

• Free fringe events

• 15% off when you book three or more events
