With events including an extended storytelling celebration of classic and contemporary fairy tales for young children, a fun interactive poetry workshop with Catharine Boddy, and a visit from AP Winter, the author of the popular fantasy adventure The Boy Who Went Magic, there is something in the programme for all ages.

Older children will be able to test their knowledge of fantasy fiction with the Magical Reading Quiz that will be running throughout the day.
