Schools and Education Programme

The Stratford Literary Festival provides an extensive selection of events and workshops for schools and young people throughout the area.

In 2011 we worked with over 18 local schools (that's 1500 young people), including a fabulous performance event called Dreams & Wishes working with local authors and poets.

Schools events dates for 2012:

Monday 30th April to Friday 4th May

For 2012 we have a stellar line-up of writers and illustrators including:

• Anne Fine
• Karen McCombie
• Steve Cole
• Alexander Gordon Smith
• Andrew Weale
• Lauren St John
• Taffy Thomas
• Julie Fulton
• Victoria Campbell

Our annual Creative Writing Workshop in 2012
will be with Samira Osman – author of the highly-acclaimed Quicksilver and Serpent's Gold

If you would like your school to be involved next year and you would like an author visit or workshop, please contact us on 01789 470185.

Our education programme is generously supported by a grant from The Stratford Town Trust.
