WordFest

A group of parents and children gathered in a library watching a performer at WordFest

This October local libraries and venues across the Wakefield district are celebrating words, be they poetry, theatre, debate, song or creative writing.

This year’s Festival is themed around ‘Myths and Legends’ and how they have been retold!

We are holding a wide range of free, exciting events and activities. There is something for everyone to enjoy, including: 

  • storytelling 
  • performances 
  • puppetry 
  • music 
  • crafts 
  • workshops 
  • author talks 

And so much more! 

Our exciting programme of events is set to be announced, watch this space for more information!
