Most of our digital events are interactive and encourage children to be creative. Check the details on the individual event page to see what materials (if any) you need to take part in creative writing workshops and craft activities.

It’s Bristol’s first citywide festival celebrating children’s stories. We’ve invited storytellers, authors, illustrators, and publishers based in Bristol to be a part of this inaugural festival. There are events ranging from creative writing workshops and talks, to story and craft sessions and interactive storytelling.
The festival was founded by a group of volunteers who are enthusiastic about children’s books and stories. You can find out more about our story here.

Some events have a ‘Book now’ button that takes you to an external ticket sales website, and other event hosts provide an email address for booking spaces.
Please be aware that free events still need to be booked, due to maximum capacity requirements.

Some money is going towards the cost of venue hire, some is going towards facilitators’ costs and some will (hopefully) go into the pot for next year’s festival.
