There will be two events on Thursday 1 March:

* The Nursery/pre-school event, from 9.30am-10am, featuring Julia Donaldson, Lydia Monks, Korky Paul, Axel Scheffler, Emma Chichester Clark and David Melling.

* The Primary event, from 11am-midday, featuring Julia Donaldson, Jacqueline Wilson, Eoin Colfer, Derek Landy, Holly Webb, Cressida Cowell, Jeremy Strong, Nick Sharratt, Andy Stanton, Steve Cole, Chris Bradford and Anthony McGowan!
