The Children’s Bookshow is an annual tour of children’s authors and illustrators from the UK and abroad. The theme for the 9th Bookshow, is Simply the Best, and there is an exciting line up of critically acclaimed artists to inspire children with their enthusiasm and passion for stories.

This year there is also an offer of 52 FREE workshops alongside the performances. These lively workshops offer an invaluable opportunity for children to develop their own creative skills by working with an author or illustrator in their own classroom. Book tickets for a performance near you to be eligible for one of the FREE school workshops.

New this year - Why should the children have all the fun! This year there are also a limited number of workshops and seminars for teachers, librarians and anyone interested in children’s literature.  More information will be available on the Bookshow website in the next few weeks.
