The Winchester Children's Book Festival 2015 (formerly the Wessex Children's Book Festival) will be running during the October half term, from 24 October to 1 November, at the Winchester Discovery Centre.

All Hampshire primary schools should be receiving flyers about this very successful event for distribution to families in the next couple of weeks, but it's available for you to see right now. Highlights of the programme include the Wimpy Kid Show, Guy Bass, The Duck in the Truck, Jane Lawes, Elen Caldecott and Rob Biddulph.
