There’s always something going on in Cheltenham, and from the 4^th to the 13^th of October, it’s the Literature Festival. This year is a particularly special one, as we celebrate its 75^th anniversary!

As the town fills with famous writers and their fans, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the literary geniuses across the globe. BPE is proud to announce that we are sponsoring this fantastic event!

This unique event brings in around 6,000 visitors during the week and a whopping 20,000 over the weekends, meaning a huge influx of tourism for the spa town of Cheltenham. This year, events explore a wide range of subjects and genres of literature, including crime fiction with Ian Rankin and church conservation at Winchcombe’s St Peter’s Church with Andrew Ziminski.

How are BPE getting involved? Every weekday during the festival, BPE will be attending the “Breakfast with The Times” in their “Behind the Headlines” event, featuring a number of their esteemed journalists and reporters.

John Workman, Senior Partner at BPE said: “BPE Solicitors have always been a supporter of the Cheltenham Festivals, and it’s fantastic to have the opportunity to celebrate the 75^th anniversary of the Literature Festival this year with the “Behind the Headlines” event. To be able to support such a wonderful event that contributes so much to businesses locally is something we are very passionate about, and to be able to hear greater detail from the journalists will, I am sure, be fascinating. I'm really looking forward to attending!”
