New PubLit Trail in Harrogate with drinks, eats and a good book as annual festival gears up for launch

A a new PubLit Trail has been launched in the build-up to Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival at the Crown Hotel in Harrogate.

An exciting new PubLit Trail offering the chance to combine a good book with a good drink has just been launched.

The new initiative is courtesy of Harrogate International Festivals in the run-up to this year's Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival at the Crown Hotel next week.

Running from Thursday, October 20 to Sunday, October 23, as well as a welter of famous writers coming to Harrogate, including Robert Harris, Susie Dent, Lady Brenda Hale and Bob Stanley, there is now a new PubLit Trail.

But this isn’t your regular pub crawl.

The idea is you pop into any of the destinations on the route, tell them you’re part of the #RaworthsLitFest PubLit Trail, place your order and claim your free book.

Simply follow the map online working your way across town and grab yourself a free book from some of Harrogate’s best-loved businesses.

Running from now through to October 23, the timings depend on the opening hours of the venues and locations on the route.
