Bookniks - Children's Book Festival at JW3

Welcome to Bookniks, our Children’s Book Festival brimming with incredible stories; new versions of stories you love, histories you’ve never heard of and stories you make yourself.

This year the festival focuses on storytelling and story listening. You can drop into our Yoto listening lounge at any point in the day, hear a musical trio take on Paddington, learn to tell stories, through your bodies, your words or even beatboxing. Meet authors, illustrators, puppeteers and poets; discover the connections between stories and refugees, learn yoga and chocolate making; drop-in on the PJ Library crafting session and visit the Bookniks book-fair run by our favourite Independent bookshop, West End Lane Books.

Our brilliant online event Osnat and Her Dove will be available for free to all Bookniks bookers! Look out for the link in your confirmation email.
