Wee Write takes place 5 – 11 March, 2014

In 2014, for the first time ever, Glasgow will play host to Wee Write!, a new book festival for children and young people. The festival takes place from 5-11 March 2014, and is expected to see audiences of around 12,000 attending​ over 100 events. It is the first children’s book festival in Scotland.

Come along to the Wee Write! Family Day on Saturday 8 March and celebrate the wonderful world of children’s literature!

About Wee Write!

Wee Write! is the only dedicated book festival for children and families in Scotland. In 2014, its first year, the festival will include a fantastic range of events for our children, young people and families to enjoy, from a huge schools festival​ to a fantastic family day. Wee Write! is part of the parent festival Aye Write! – now in it’s 9th year! – but is a stand-alone programme dedicated entirely to children’s writing.
