Causley Festival 2022

Tickets for our Festival of Arts and Literature are now live! Read on for more information about our fantastic line up and what events to expect across 29-31 July ...

This year’s festival will be both in person and digital. Even if you cannot make it to Launceston, you can attend and participate in our 2022 festival via Zoom. There will also be a community day, in conjunction with English Heritage, Launceston Town Council and the Chamber of Commerce.

This year we have a ‘pay-what-you-can’ programme. Excluding our workshops, all events will be ticketed as free, but if you are able to support the work of the Trust, you can make a donation at checkout. Each ‘pay what you can’ event will have a suggested ticket price, which you can pay as a donation.
