Covid 19
The COVID-19 pandemic meant that we had to put a hold on the Crossing the Tees Book Festival 2020. We’re grateful to the authors and artists who were already signed up in 2020 that they agreed to move their event to our 2021 programme, and even more grateful that they’re happy to join us virtually. Although COVID restrictions are starting to ease we wanted to be sure that the 2021 Festival would go ahead, which is why the festival will be completely online this year.
