A stellar line-up of authors and performers will entertain the younger generation of readers and authors, with the return of the Byron Writers Festival’s Kids Big Day Out.
As part of the festival on Sunday, August 11, the Lilly Pilly marquee at the Bangalow Showground will host interactive storytelling for kids and parents alike.
This year’s host is the wonderful local children’s author Zanni Louise.
Organisers say, ‘As well as the action onstage, kids can explore the StoryBoard space at The Coolamon, where our famous StoryBoard bus and tipi village comes alive with storytime and drop-in creative activities for little ones and aspiring young writers and illustrators’.
Byron Writers Festival Artistic Director, Jessica Alice, said, ‘We’re delighted to present the much loved Kids Big Day Out at the festival once again to nurture the next generation of storytellers! We can’t wait to welcome little readers and writers to the festival.
Fun-filled day
‘It promises to be a wonderful, fun-filled day with something for all families to enjoy’.
