The Great Malvern Festival of Stories for Children is all set to return following the huge success of last year’s festival.
Taking place from 22 October to 27 October 2024, the six day festival will return across a number of venues throughout Great Malvern, with days for schools taking place during the week along with a fantastic weekend programme for families.
Formed by Malvern Hills District Council in partnership with Boffy Arts Events People the festival is a celebration of stories, with professional storytellers, children’s authors, illustrators, puppet companies, musicians, and theatre.
And, it’s all set in the beautiful hillside town of Great Malvern where the Victorian gas-lamps (which still exist today) inspired C.S Lewis to write Narnia’s – The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
As well as ticketed events, there are free storytelling sessions; art activities and stalls by local authors across the weekend.
Tickets are on sale NOW via Malvern Theatres Box Office.
