Art, scenery, and shifting bodies of water, in the company of Vicky and Charles Rangeley-Wilson
In the picturesque town of Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk, the much-anticipated Literature and Landscape festival is set to take place from October 4-6. This year's event is organised by Charles and Vicky Rangeley-Wilson, alongside the North Norfolk Festival of Literature and Landscape team.
The festival promises a captivating lineup of panel discussions, debates, and activities, all centred around the power of literature in relation to our natural world and landscape. Among the panelists are Jake Fiennes, Tony Juniper, and Joe Crowley, who will share their insights on various topics.
James Fisher, the Digital Commissioning Editor of a popular platform, will also be in attendance. Known for his writings on motoring, travel, and things that upset him, Fisher is eager to publish good stories. He invites everyone to email him with their compelling tales.
One of the festival's highlights is an interview with Lucy Shepherd, Britain's most intrepid young explorer. Her podcast discussion delves into her journey from rural Suffolk to trekking the Amazon. The podcast, produced by Toby Keel, can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Audible.

In addition to the festival, the platform offers a newsletter, delivering Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and advice on how to get the most from your life.
Organising a literary festival is no small feat. It involves booking speakers, activities, debates, and finding suitable spaces. However, finding a balance between opposing viewpoints is one of the most challenging aspects.
The Literature and Landscape festival is not the only literary event in Wells-next-the-Sea. The North Norfolk Festival of Literature and Landscape takes place from October 7-9, 2025, in the same town.
Whether you're a literature enthusiast, an adventurer at heart, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of our natural world, the Literature and Landscape festival in Wells-next-the-Sea is an event not to be missed.
