Ealing and the Chiswick Book Festival

We are delighted to support the Ealing Book Festival which will take place during 11-14 April. Read all about it here.
We also support Read Easy Ealing as one of our three reading charities.


The Chiswick Book Festival has always had close ties with Ealing:

  • In 2021, we held our first events at the University of West London.
  • Read about The Ealing Sessions at UWL with Rory Cellan-Jones (above) and the Ealing Fiction Panel.
  • For several years, the University has been a sponsor of the Chiswick Book Festival (see photo below of Clare Balding with Hunter Davies at ArtsEd W4 during the 2017 Festival).

The Timeline of Ealing Writers and Books

In 2020 we launched a Timeline of Ealing Writers and Books, compiled by our Ealing co-ordinator Roger Green, to complement the Chiswick archive. The Borough of Ealing boasts an array of celebrated writers, from Henry Fielding and Ho Chi Minh to Agatha Christie and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

The Ealing authors can also be found listed by subject here:
Fiction and poetry
