Bath Children's Literature Festival

Bath Children’s Literature Festival is back from 27th September – 5th October 2025!

Founded in 1948, Bath Festivals is a charity that inspires and connects different people and communities through music and book festivals and a year-round programme of outreach and creative learning projects. All work is designed to maximise inclusion and accessibility, ignite ideas, thoughts and conversations and promote and celebrate the positive impact that music, literature, and performance have on people’s lives.

The city will be buzzing as more than 100 of your favourite children’s authors and illustrators are welcomed to spaces and places across Bath.
