About Havant Literary FestivalFor extra news and last minute updates, join the Mailing List at hlf2008havant@googlemail.com Membership of Havant Literary Festival Society costs £5 per year. We need volunteers to act as stewards during the Festival and for clerical and admin tasks in the run up. Donations are always welcome, as is help with our fund-raising events. The Executive Committee of the Festival Society is open to anyone who is a member of the Society and is willing to take a more active role in admin/ event management or has a specific skill like design or marketing. For the most part, experience is less important than enthusiasm and energy!

Opening hours are 10-4 Tuesday to Friday, 10-2 Saturday.
