We very much support the forthcoming National Year of Reading 2026 to engage new audiences in reading, encourage reading for pleasure and change the nation’s reading culture for good.

We have already have nearly twenty years experience of supporting events for children’s authors in local schools and local libraries and for adult readers through our own Festivals and events.

This autumn for example, between three and four thousand children will attend events that we are supporting.

Authors featured include Kate Mosse, Simon Philip, Tom Mitchell, Megan Hopkins, Justyn Edwards, Rob Biddulph, Peter Bentley and Adam Baron.

Schools who need our pop up bookshop to support their author visits can get details on our School Events page on this website
