For the first time ever Malton hosts its very own Literature Festival with a series of events and competitions held over the weekend of 22nd, 23rd, 24th October 2010.
As part of Malton’s first Literature Festival we are staging a series of writing competitions, with prizes to be awarded at the close of the Festival on Sunday 24th October 2010.
