Gloucestershire Family Festival is set to take place over five days during the October Half Term 2024. This unique festival, themed 'Fairytales and Fantasy', will be held in various non-library venues across the county. We need your help to make this magical experience a reality for children and families in Gloucestershire!
About the Festival
The Gloucestershire Family Festival aims to ignite a passion for reading, storytelling, and creativity within our community. Each festival day will feature a diverse range of activities, including:
- Theatre performances
- Music and science workshops
- Storytelling and writing sessions
- Author talks and outdoor learning
- Arts and crafts, including creating your own book
- Lego and sensory play stations
- Face painting, costume swaps, and more!
Our Mission
Our goal is to bring the joy of literacy and imagination to all children, especially those in under-represented and isolated communities. By hosting the festivals in non-library venues like community centres, parks and schools, we aim to overcome barriers and reach families who might not typically visit a library.
