If you want to inspire a new generation of readers and writers it helps to encourage them while they are young and that is precisely what the first ever Cardiff Children's Literature Festival will aim to do this week. Running from 20th - 24th March the festival will offer activities to capture the imagination of both the young and the young at heart. The festival organisers are promising events which will make 'words and pictures come to life with tales of fantastical creatures, rugby zombies, amazing aliens and rainbow fairies'.
Events to look out for include:
Menna Elfyn will be reading from her latest poetry collection Murmur in an event organised as part of the Brecon Women’s Festival. The event starts at 5.30pm in The Hours Bookshop, Brecon and tickets are priced at £5. Contact The Hours Bookshop to book tickets: 01874 622800. This is a bilingual event which is supported by Literature Wales.
