The Kelaniya English Literary Festival is an annual event organized by the Department of English of the University of Kelaniya to commemorate the life of Professor Manique Gunesekera.

This festival includes a series of workshops for O/L and A/L students, teacher training workshops, panel discussions with eminent personalities from the literary and academic fields in Sri Lanka, literary readings, creative performances by undergraduates, along with many other activities.

The Department of English of the University of Kelaniya is a space where students are inspired to be fearless in their pursuit of knowledge and most importantly to voice what is left “untold”.

The Untold is a magazine that has been published by the fourth year undergraduates of the department, and consists of creative and critical works of undergraduates from different faculties and universities.
