We have just completed out 6th festival, we will be posting details and dates of our literary festival in 2013 by early may.

Comments from writers attending our recent festival:

"The Galle festival is truly wonderful, one of the most elegant and charming I’ve yet visited. It's beautifully organized, in a delightful place and its full of character. Its audiences are large and responsive. So it is no wonder it attracts the best writers “ 

Simon Sebag Montefiore

"A stimulating literary experience in a splendid setting, the Galle Literary Festival is a feast for the senses as well as the mind!"

Shashi Tharoor

"In bringing together a stimulating mixture of authors from far and wide, with time to meet each other and their audiences, exchange diverse ideas and enjoy relaxed hospitality in beautiful surroundings, the Galle Literary Festival is a life enhancing event - as unique as Galle itself."

Josceline Dimbleby 

In the next few weeks we will be adding highlights of the 2012 Festival.
