Doncaster Hosts Booker Prize

Doncaster Hosts Booker Prize Doncaster Hosts Booker Prize

Doncaster has been named as The Booker Prize for Fiction’s partner for its regional events in 2020.

The partnership with Doncaster Creates, the dynamic arts programme set up to nurture the creativity in the town, will see a series of literary events taking place over the next few months including a search for local writing talent.

Our events include an 'In Conversation' discussion with the six shortlisted authors on Friday 13 November and an 'Open Mic' with local Doncaster authors on Thursday 26 November.

Join our online conversation, ‘The Books That Made Us’ on YouTube. Share with us a book that has been important to you - maybe it made you laugh as a child or inspired you as an adult? Email booker@doncastercreates.org with a video including your nomination and where you’re from in Doncaster. All participants will be entered into a random draw to win a copy of one of the Booker shortlisted novels.
