A new literary festival is coming to the capital that's sure to delight book lovers. North London Book Fest is happening on 21st-24th March at Alexandra Palace and is the first literary festival to take place at this well-known venue. A whole host of activities are happening as part of the festival, plus attendees will be able to meet some huge names from the literary world including children's authors Lemony Snicket and Michael Rosen, and Sunday Times bestseller Erin Kelly. 

The festival welcomes all ages, including kids. Amongst the activities taking place over the four days there will be author talks, Q&A sessions, panel discussions, signings, and creative workshops. Live music and poetry readings will also be taking place, plus there are plenty of opportunities to network with other avid readers and aspiring writers. There will also be a festival bookstore on-site where you can pick up a great new read, run in partnership with Waterstones.
