Our five day RBS Schools Programme is packed with events featuring the best in writing for children and teens, with a focus firmly on participation, imagination and creation. With all events taking place in a specially created tented village in the heart of Edinburgh, it's a young person-friendly day out!
Highlights this year include Julia Donaldson's Songbirds show, an exclusive preview of David Almond's new book and Michael Rosen's A to Z of Poetry. An outstanding line-up of authors for teenagers includes Graham Marks and Sophie McKenzie talking about catching the writing bug, and Kevin Brooks and Catherine Forde discussing the relationship between song and story writing. We also have events specially designed for teachers, led by top experts in the field of education.
Primary schools will have the Book Festival all to themselves on RBS Gala Day, 26 August. An extravaganza of world class authors, storytelling, illustration, jokes and magic; it's a day chock-full of fun and learning.
Come and join in the fun at the largest festival of author and arts events for children in the world!
