Last weekend of the Bath Kids Lit Fest - come on!
30 September 2011 at 07:45
Roll up Roll up - it's the last weekend of The Telegraph Bath Festival of Children's Literature!
Record ticket sales and the most impressive line-up of authors and performers has already made the 2011 Bath Kids Lit Fest the most successful ever.
In its 5th Anniversary year, Artistic Directors John and Gill McClay, brilliantly supported by the Bath Festivals' production, marketing, development, education and Box Office teams, have created something even bigger, even better, even bolder, even bouncier (there was a footy event so we can say that) than before.
Anyone I know?
Er...yeah! So far including: Roddy Doyle, Jeremy Strong, Meg Rosoff, David Almond, Melvyn Burgess, Cressida Cowell, Peepo!, Andy Stanton, Eoin Colfer....ring any bells?
