There is something powerfully transformative about women who write. Their words often carry both memory and imagination, history and possibility. And this year, The Wilde Foundation Writers’ Festival 2025 returns with that truth held firmly at its centre.

Mark your calendars:

📍 Venue: Bush Theatre, 7 Uxbridge Road, Shepherd’s Bush, London W12 8LJ
🎯 Theme: Women Who Write – Representation in Literature: The Role of Women’s Voices in Shaping Cultural Narratives

This is not just another literary festival. It is a space where women’s voices are not simply welcomed—they are the very architecture of the room.

This year’s theme invites us to reflect deeply on the ways women have been telling the truth—quietly and boldly, through fiction, memoir, poetry, and journalism. We are asking: Who gets to write? Whose stories are we reading? And how do we shape new narratives that honour complexity, identity, and truth?

We are honoured to host an unforgettable line-up of women who are doing just that.

Expect an enlightening In Conversation With Charlene White, hosted by the formidable Magdalene Abraha—publisher, changemaker, and fierce advocate for literary diversity. Charlene, one of the most recognisable faces in British media, will speak candidly about her journey, the power of storytelling, and why representation is not a favour but a right.

You’ll also meet phenomenal writers, thinkers, and creatives who are reshaping the landscape of literature and media—some emerging, some established, all brilliant.

This year’s festival will feature panel discussions, creative writing workshops, poetry readings, and intimate fireside chats. There will be spaces to write, listen, connect, and reflect. We’re building a community of people who understand that stories change everything—and that women’s voices are not an afterthought, but the beginning of every revolution.

We want you there.

Whether you’re a writer, a reader, a lover of language, or someone simply seeking a place to be inspired, this is your invitation to come and be part of something meaningful. Bring your journal, bring your questions, bring your whole self.

Early bird tickets are now available—and they’re moving fast. Secure your spot, tell your friends, and prepare for a day of honest conversation, celebration, and the kind of creative fire that lingers long after the lights go out.

Because when women write, the world listens. And at the Wilde Foundation Writers’ Festival 2025, we’ll be listening, too.

Let’s write the future—together.
