Taking place from 9-20 February 2022, the festival includes more than 160 events - more than half of them free to attend - such as children’s theatre, comedy, family parties, hands-on activities, music, literature, dance, immersive experiences and mindfulness sessions.

For young children, there is an interactive Peppa Pig concert with a live orchestra and a musical show featuring characters from Julia Donaldson’s books including Zog, The Highway Rat, Superworm and The Gruffalo.

Poet, author and former children’s laureate Michael Rosen will also read a selection of his best loved poems and stories, as well as introducing his new picture book, Sticky McStickstick – a story of hope and perseverance and a testament to the poet’s NHS walking stick.
