About this Event

Locations:

We are delighted to announce the much-awaited return of the Khushwant Singh Literary Festival (KSLF) to London for its 8th edition. And to Sutton for the first time.

The festival is absolutely free and includes sessions of discussions on books that matter and an evening of music.

The theme, Rewilding the Mind: Ecology, Storytelling, Heritage and the Future, explores how stories — ancient and contemporary — carry the wisdom of landscapes, species, and communities, reconnecting us to the earth and to each other. Through novels, poetry, folklore, and oral traditions, we examine how writers, past and present, have preserved ecological memory, advocated for nature, and imagined futures where humans live in harmony with their environment and heritage. Come, let's take our humanity across borders, over words, over conversations, and over books. Rediscover the natural world through the lens of literature, honouring the deep-rooted heritage of ecological storytelling while seeking new narratives for a planet in peril.

Do block Saturday, May 30, for London and Saturday June 6, for Sutton.

Please register only if you're attending in person - we are unable to offer the programme virtually.
