Our Story, Mission, and Values
After attending and searching for large author and reader events we found there are several large festivals in the north of the country. We felt there was definetly a gap in the South of England where a large book festival directed at romance would fit.
ROSE was born from this and we aim to hold our first event in 2028 with at least one event planned somewhere in the South of England annually.

Meet the ROSE Festival Team
Our passionate team is dedicated to crafting memorable, accessible events that celebrate indie authors and readers alike. We invite you to connect with us and join the ROSE community, whether as an author, vendor, or book lover.

At University, Hannah studied Creative Writing and always wanted to carry on writing after her education but it wasn't until eleven years later that she plucked up the courage to publish her first novel, Take Me Home. Hannah loves all things Romance and reads romance novels like they're going out of fashion! Hannah aims to publish something under all of the romance sub-genres that she enjoys.
