A Conversation on the National Year of Reading

Join former Children’s Laureate Lauren Child, writer Horatio Clare and Honorary Festival Chairman Sir Terry Waite for a timely and thought-provoking discussion on the urgency of the National Year of Reading.

Chaired by Toby Lichtig of The Times Literary Supplement, this vital conversation explores how we can go all in to drive real change - revealing the transformative power of books and how each of us can help boost literacy at home, in schools and across our communities. Thanks to Rathbones for supplying community book bundles as part of this event to support the National Year of Reading.
