This exciting festival, still in progress, will have had over 430 writers coming to Oxford. The Young People's and Children's Events include a host of excellent and popular writers: Malorie Blackman, Michael Morpurgo, David Almond, Louise Rennison, Terry Deary , Philip Ardagh to name but a few.
The winning team of the Oxfordshire & Berkshire Kids’ Lit Quiz heat last November, as well as winning a place in the UK Final, were invited to take part in the Oxford Literary Festival on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th April. After the talks by authors Malorie Blackman, Michael Morpurgo, Philip Ardagh, Penny Nolan and Helena Pielichaty, each of the winning KLQ team will start the question and answer session. What's more they are invited into the 'Green Room' before the authors' events to meet them and have their photo taken with them. They will also be on the ‘soapbox’ in the main festival marquee talking for 'Just 2 minutes' about their favourite book.
Children's events cost between £2.50 and £6.50. Throughout the festival, tickets are available from the festival box office at Christ Church. More information
