Children's Book Festival

The 2009 festival, was bigger and better than ever before. We welcomed authors including Julia Donaldson, Alan Grant, Roddy Doyle, Babette Cole, Alan Durant, Marcus Sedgwick, John Fardell and Philip Ardagh to our new and improved children's area. Our festival treasure hunt was back by popular demand and further entertainment was provided in our storytelling tepee.
