This event takes places as part of Solihull BookFest - a series of action packed fun events throughout the day at The Core, organised in partnership with Bournville and Sutton Coldfield BookFests.

Visit the Solihull Bookfest website.

The promoters of Solihull Bookfest have given us a small allocation of tickets, to assist in promoting the event. You can purchase tickets through us, or via Bookfest directly. Any unsold tickets will be available to purchase from Box Office on the day of the event.

There will be a bookswap, book shop, drop in sessons and free storytelling so Solihull BookFest is worth a drop in visit whether you have tickets or not.  Join the fun on Saturday 26th March at The Core (located in Theatre Square, Touchwood).
