After a long enforced absence, we are so excited to announce the return of our FREE award-winning, fun-packed festival!

Our big Bookfest weekend will be full of activities for children aged 2 to 12 – talks by authors and illustrators, creative workshops, storytelling, poetry and more. 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’.
