FAMILIES

26TH - 28TH SEPTEMBER

We believe the love of stories starts young and that great storytelling should be shared by all. That is why we have curated a selection of family-friendly events designed to delight and inspire readers of all ages.


A special highlight for our younger guests this year is ‘Braemar Beddie Baa’, a cosy afternoon storytime where a special guest speaker reads from a beloved children’s book.

The perfect way for families to wind down, whilst winding up our weekend of words.
