The Manchester Children’s Book Festival welcomes everyone to the 2016 Festival Family Fun Day – a full Saturday of free activities in the Geoffrey Manton Building at Manchester Metropolitan University’s All Saints Campus (opposite the Commonwealth Aquatics Centre on Oxford Road). Come along and join the fun – there’ll be something for everyone, from pre-readers and nursery age-children to teens and families. And, as well as story-telling, arts, crafts and workshops, there’ll be a bustling market-place of stalls and exhibitions to browse and enjoy.

ENTRY TO THE FUN DAY IS FREE - just drop in any time from 10.00am to 4.00pm. Some of the story-telling events and workshops will have limited places, and some will require purchase of a ticket - please see the individual listings in our "What's On" guide to book and guarantee your seats. Priority entry will be given to those who have pre-booked tickets.
