Bookville, a Kilkenny festival of books for families and children, celebrates its eighth consecutive year in 2024 with events from the 10th to the 16th October.
The Bookville Festival 2024 promises a fabulous programme of free events for school children and the general public.
The Bookville Festival once again features the hugely popular activity book, which will be delivered to over 13,000 primary school children around the county.
Over the six festival days there will be 60 workshops given by 27 children’s authors and illustrators, covering creative writing, history, comedy, music, illustration, Gaeilge, drama, music, storytelling and poetry.
There will also be a Bookville exhibition and two comedy and theatre shows suitable for the whole family. All events will take place in eight libraries across county Kilkenny. Pre-booking is essential. Booking will open at 9am on Tuesday 17th September. Places are limited, so early booking is advised.

The annual Bookville Festival is a collaboration by the Kilkenny Arts Office and Kilkenny County Council Library Service and supported by Creative Ireland and the Arts Council of Ireland. The books featured are available from local Kilkenny libraries, Khans Books and the Kilkenny Book Centre.
