Henley Literary Festival back - and you don't even have to leave your house to enjoy it!

For any bibliophile, literary festivals are a highlight of the year.

Stimulating talks from your book idols, glorious British sunshine and a glass of Pimms - what more could you want?

Our favourite kind of festival -much better than standing in a muddy field listening to a band, we think. But sadly sitting in a tent among strangers is no longer an option... but the show must go on and now you don’t even need to leave your sofa to ensure front row tickets to the fun!

Who will be making an appearance at Henley literary festival?
