Young people are a key part of the Stratford Literary Festival and in 2009 we are planning another fascinating line-up for all ages, taking place in our Festival Marquee on Avonbank Gardens, Waterside, and in schools in the area.
AND we are very grateful to Stratford Town Trust who have given us a very generous grant towards the Children's Festival.
Throughout 2009 we'll be taking authors into local schools for special events. If your school is interested in an event, email the Festival Office here.
