Signing books at the lovely The Barnes Bookshop before making my way to BarnesKidsLitFest 😎 Can’t wait for my *first ever* children’s festival event 🙌 if you’re coming along at 4pm I’ll see you there! 👀



Awesome day BarnesKidsLitFest chairing an event with the creator of the Lottie Brooks phenomenon, Katie Kirby! (Katie Kirby) As usual, Barnes provides a bangin’ festival and brings all the best authors 🫶🏼



I had a lovely time BarnesKidsLitFest today. The event was sold out. Waterstones sold out of Hunt for the Golden Scarabs, and all the readers I met were wonderful. Huge thanks goes to all the unpaid organisers & volunteers who care so much about inspiring children to read. 🥰📚


Phew! What a day! Thank you to each and every young reader (and their grown ups) who came to see me at BarnesKidsLitFest 🙏 It was a joy to talk about #ABoxFullofMurders Thanks too to PuffinBooks Waterstones and to all the festival staff and volunteers who made it happen ❤️


We might have been making the final preparations for Hull Libraries The Big Malarkey Festival Hull this weekend, but it didn’t stop one of us heading down to BarnesKidsLitFest to check out another festival!

Thank you BarnesKidsLitFest for a lovely afternoon! Thanks to everyone who came and especially to my excellent young actors! And thank you to the volunteer who brought THIS DOG with them for it was a very good dog.



The weekend program at BarnesKidsLitFest is there for bookish joy but it also raises money for the free (and brilliant) schools events. If you can spare a few quid, please do support those events here! donate.stripe.com/6oEg17d8SbRL5v…

Nevil and George from CSC HQ had a lot of fun at the BarnesKidsLitFest over the course of the weekend, taking chess to the masses!
