YJA Live at the Newark Book Festival

Young journalists Ethan and Leon had exclusive access to this years Newark Book Festival.

The first Newark Book Festival took place in July 2017 – a two-day event bringing authors, illustrators and readers together for a programme covering many writing genres with events for all ages to enjoy.

This years festival saw four days of talks and workshops, an ever-expanding literature market, street theatre and entertainment, a Festival pop-up shop and a blossoming schools and education programme – all taking place in venues across the town, including the Palace Theatre, library, town hall, the castle grounds and even on the River Trent.
