Linton children’s book festival
13-14 May 2023
After a long enforced absence, we are so excited to announce the return of our award-winning, fun-packed festival!
Our big Bookfest weekend will be full of activities – talks by authors and illustrators, creative workshops, storytelling, poetry and more – aimed at a wide range of ages. There will also be pre-festival storytelling in local gardens and author visits to the local schools. All events are free of charge and aim to promote creativity and a life-long love of reading.
This year our theme is ‘Adventure Starts Now’.
