This is what Michael had to say about his visit in August 2024:

Berwick is a perfect place for a literary Festival. It feels like somewhere where stories happen, and where stories are told. The town is full of history and handsome buildings and everywhere is walkable, with dramatic views out over the river to the sea. It has an unrushed feel, which encourages contemplation, and the Festival is run by people who know what they’re doing. Getting off the train at Berwick was one of the best things I've done in a long time.
