Come along to Barnes Children's Literature Festival

The UK's largest children's book festival returns on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 June, bringing over 100 author and illustrator events, workshops, performances, and free activities to the beautiful Barnes Pond.

This year's festival features a rich programme of live storytelling, creative workshops, and interactive performances that bring books and characters to life. Children can enjoy hands-on illustration and writing sessions, and take part in educational talks and debates that encourage curiosity and critical thinking.

The festival also includes free outdoor activities and pop-up events, creating a lively, welcoming environment around Barnes Pond.
