Alongside the adult's literary festival in Penzance this summer is Littlefest - turbo-charged with activities for kids. Events during school hours on weekdays are aimed at school audiences; there are also after-school sessions and Saturday activities, for children, young adults and parents, and for aspiring writers of children’s stories. Plus, a very special guest. In association with the Edge of the World Bookshop, the Gruffalo is coming to town! He will be hosting a teaparty on Friday afternoon at The Exchange.

In this, the fifth year, the Acorn will once again be the Festival Hub, with the downstairs cafe/bar providing the social centre for meeting up with friends and finding out about the day’s activities.
