Booker Prize

November 9, 2026 at 2:00:00 PM

Nov 9, 2026 2:00 PM 2 PM ET - Approx. 7:00 PM GMT, London

Booker Prize night becomes a shared-room experience at Erie Labor Temple: part watch party, part cultural salon, and part friendly argument about what the industry chose to honor.

Come for shortlisted books, writers and translators, selected passages, and the choices that shape international literary attention. Stay for ballots, predictions, reactions, and conversation with people who care about the work behind the broadcast. A reading corner and book-arts atmosphere keep the focus on language, translation, and the physical life of books. This is an ELT-hosted viewing gathering, not an official event of the presenting organization. Final doors, broadcast availability, admission details, and guest arrangements should be confirmed on the event page before attending.
