 ‘A Thousand Words Festival’ celebrates the unique place that children’s stories hold in our society. Our aim is to create a vibrant forum where stories and books are told and displayed, where other art forms are used to bring stories to life, and above all, where there is a constant and lively discussion between book lovers of all ages.
Children’s literature holds an incredibly unique place in our society. These books exist in every form imaginable and come to life in the telling, reading and remembering of them.  ‘A Thousand Words Festival’ is a celebration of these stories, created for children, but open for everyone. Our goal is to bring wonderful stories, in all their forms, to people who are young in years or at heart.

With this in mind, we have created our inaugural event, celebrating local talent. We have brought together the creators, tellers and readers of some amazing stories in a space that is inviting and exciting. There will be a range of activities on the day which include go-go workshops, activity stands, competitions, food, freebies and more. In the afternoon there will be several sessions aimed at young adults, and the winner of our first annual ‘A Thousand Words’ story competition will be announced. There will be plenty of free activities throughout the day and book lovers will be able to purchase books to be signed by their favourite authors.
