The Telegraph Ways With Words festival of words and ideas is a vibrant and joyful 10-day event, a chance for those who read books to meet those who write them. The setting is glorious, the atmosphere is invigorating. People come together in spectacular surroundings to share the pleasure and power of language and ideas. The warmth and energy of this lively gathering make it a memorable occasion.
Twenty eleven is Ways With Words' 20th anniversary. So be prepared for celebrations.
The 2011 festival line-up will be available from mid-May. Past speakers include: Kate Adie, Martin Amis, Michael Buerk, Antonia Fraser, Penelope Lively, James Lovelock, Ian McEwan, Arthur Smith, Graham Swift and Sandi Toksvig.
Few people who visit Dartington Hall are untouched by its magic. The combination of the medieval courtyard, the majestic Great Hall and the extensive gardens and woodlands creates a captivating setting for a festival.
If you're looking for somewhere to stay during the Festival, make sure you check out The Sea Trout Inn, which is conveniently located in Staverton, just a few minutes drive from the event itself.
