The festival began in 2006 and takes place annually in March, offering a diverse programme of events at venues across the town. It has several aims, including celebrating the written word by bringing big name authors to Huddersfield and supporting local talent, promoting Huddersfield as a cultural centre to rival others, not only in West Yorkshire but UK-wide, bringing people and revenue into the town centre for multi-venue events and encourage spending in town centre shops, bars, restaurants and providing access to events for those who might not normally attend because of financial or social issues or for reasons such as disability.
