About

Barnes becomes the children's books capital of the UK when the Barnes Children's Literature Festival returns on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June with more than 100 fun events, workshops and performances for young book fans and their families.

This festival is put on by families for families, so that you as a tribe can have an amazing time. We programme books as theatre, music, maths, science, art, craft, cookery, film, football, whatever it takes to bring the magic of reading and writing to the kids.
