We know this will disappoint many families and we want to reassure our lovely audiences that we have worked our socks off to fundraise to make the magic happen again in 2022. We couldn’t have done any more, but it wasn’t meant to be.

Our funding applications to Arts Council England and Birmingham City Council for funding the 2022 festival were both unsuccessful. It costs ÂŁ40K to host Bournville BookFest and, as a charity, we simply cannot afford to host it on ticket income and support from private sponsors.

With great sadness we have to announce Bournville BookFest won't happen this June as planned. Solihull BookFest on Saturday 26 March will be our last event of 2022. Our grateful thanks to our amazing authors, illustrators, storytellers, audiences, funders, partners & volunteers.

Thank you to our talented designer Pete Brown, who designed our learning resource pack - cleverly making sure they were print-friendly and clear to read - plus our beautiful social media artwork.
