Join us for the third edition of the brilliant children's book festival at Biddulph Old Hall.

The Festival of Brilliant has been established by a group of children and young people, teachers, librarians, artists and authors from the Moorlands who share a love of reading.

We believe that books and stories have the power to change the world. Families from across the Moorlands are invited to join us and a raft of world class authors, illustrators and artists for an incredible festival that will feed their imaginations.

Who’s it for?

Everyone, but particularly children in the Staffordshire Moorlands.

Friday, the festival is specifically for schools and community groups, who can register for FREE tickets. Programming will be aimed at Key Stage 2, specifically years 3 and 4

Saturday's family festival caters for all ages, from early years right up to young adults. There'll be something for everyone - parents, grandparents and carers included!

We’re working with a range of brilliant local groups including the women’s refuge, housing association, community zone and SEND parent’s group to make our festival as inclusive and accessible as possible.

At OUTSIDE we have a flexible approach to access – if you would like a further conversation or if you have any queries, please get in touch.

If you work with, attend or are part of a group or charity in the Staffordshire Moorlands who face financial barriers, then please contact us on festivalofbrilliant@outsidearts.org to find out how we can support you to attend for free.
