So what IS a Pop Up Festival?

IT CAN POP-UP ANYWHERE Pop Up Festival likes to pop-up where you least expect it – on the street where you live, the school you go to or the library where you love to read, in a park or a playground, a museum or gallery, a meadow or a mountainside, castles and cinemas, tower blocks and theatres. Because Pop Up Festival loves surprises

– who knows where it’s going to pop-up next?

AND POP UP FESTIVAL IS FREE! Why? So that all kinds of kids – and all kinds of mums, dads, grannies,

grandpas, friends and pets, robots and aliens, monsters and villains (etc) – can come and join in our great big celebration of stories.

SO WHO’S TELLING THESE STORIES? Every year Pop Up Festival scours the world, the oceans and

the outer reaches of the solar system to find a bunch of brilliant story-makers – writers and illustrators, poets and storytellers

– to dream up and design for you what we call Pop Up Experiences. Take a look at the other side of this programme, for a tour through

the Pop Up Experiences at Pop Up Festival this year.

You don’t have to bring anything to Pop Up Festival

– well, maybe an open mind, a good friend or two, and a sense of adventure. But we do want you to leave with your head crammed and

your heart bursting with stories and, who knows – maybe with your fingers twitching and your imagination itching to go home and write, draw, tell or

make a story of your very own. Because everyone has a story. You just have to find it. And Pop Up Festival is a great place to start.
