Mumsnetters, we know, are a literary lot - which is why we decided you deserved a books festival of your very own. This year, on Saturday June 25th, we're holding Bookfest, a one-day literary extravaganza for the whole family at Kings Place in London - right by Kings Cross train station. We'll have children's authors for the kids (including Liz Pichon on her most famous creation, Tom Gates) and fascinating, thought-provoking panel discussions for the grown-ups on questions such as whether we should still be Shakespeare in the digital age, and why we've all fallen in love with memoirs. There'll be interviews with some of the UK's most brilliant writers, too - and our first ever live Mumsnet Book of the Month event with the wonderful Maggie O'Farrell.
Events kick off at 10am, and will carry on through the day - you can pop in for a single session or stay until the halls empty out and bar starts buzzing. Prices start at £12 for an individual session, going up to £55 for an open ticket for the duration. Do come along - it's going to be a fantastic day, and we hope to see you there!
