Spring Season 2026

We are delighted to announce our 2026 Spring Season with a remarkable line up of exceptional
writers. As ever, the authors we have invited cover a huge range of subjects from animals, to
parental relationships, from autism and Nazism to geopolitics. We are exceptionally lucky to be
able to welcome to Painswick some of the country’s finest writers. There is something here for everyone.


Book early to avoid disappointment and help spread the word.


All events are at the Painswick Centre, Bisley Street, Painswick.
