Ticket Availability - Final Update

With a day to go until the weekend events kick off, there are still tickets available to see some great authors, poets and entertainers at the Linton Children's Book Festival.

On Saturday (tomorrow) we have a few places left to see Sophie Smiley in the library at 11.15am the morning. In the afternoon at Linton Infants school, there are lots of tickets left to see Obelon Puppets at 1pm and Tony Mitton at 2.15pm. Just come along tomorrow before the event you want to see and we will be handing out tickets from the information desk. Remember that there will be drop-in music and storytelling sessions throughout the afternoon to keep the younger family members happy.

On Sunday, there is plenty of capacity in the LVC main hall - so if you fancy seeing Val Bloom, Stuart Hill or Joe Craig - or all three! - just turn up on the day and we will give you tickets at the information desk. If you prefer to a more hands-on experience, why not sign up to the workshops run by Alan Shea and Deborah Chancellor. This is really a once in a lifetime opportunity to see some internationally-renowned authors in our village - so please come along and prepare to be thoroughly entertained!

Check out the website for more details about all the speakers named above.

A couple of other things to bear in mind about the weekend...

Returns
If you have tickets to Axel Scheffler - or any the Saturday workshops - but can't come for any reason - please return the tickets to the information desk or call the organisers on 0771 3160306 - as we have waiting lists for all these events.

Parking
On Saturday afternoon, there are lots of parking spaces in Coles Lane and the Health Centre car park for visitors coming in by car. There will be signs directing you to these locations if you are unfamiliar with the village. We ask you not to park in Church Lane (next to the Infants School) as there is a Christening service on at the church in the afternoon.

On Sunday there is plenty of parking space within the Linton Village College grounds.

Finally, the weather forecast is excellent - so please bring along hats and suncream for the little ones - there will be plenty of refreshments available from the PSA cafe.

We can't wait to see you there!
