Out of Many Lit runs from 4-8 October with a host of events showcasing writers of Jamaican and wider Caribbean heritage and guest contributors — from budding young community writers to national treasures and international names across this five-day festival of literary talent unprecedented in the North. It is part of the Jamaica Society Leeds-organised Out of Many Festival which runs until February 2023.

It is with deep sadness and sorrow that Leeds joins the country in mourning Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II following the announcement from Buckingham Palace.
