The Big Malarkey Festival 2024

About The Big Malarkey Festival 2024

Join Hull Libraries and friends for a ‘World of Adventures’ at The Big
Malarkey Festival! Hull’s much-loved family festival celebrating children’s
book and stories is back on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 June.

In Hull Libraries every book contains a world of adventures! You just need
somewhere comfy to sit or lie, open your book and hey presto, you’re up
and away!

At the Big Malarkey Festival, there’s an adventure in every tent!

There’s so much to do for children and young people from 0 – 16 years.
Come to the Big Top to meet authors, artists, musicians and more, with
amazing stories to tell. In our smaller tents, you can play with words to write
poetry, or stories, or make music, you could try some wonderful craft,
drawing, digital wizardry and much more.

If you need a break, you can just lie back with our Cloudscapes friends and
let you mind travel through the sky or pull up a beanbag in the Library tent
and dive into a book.

Where might your Malarkey adventure take you?

Festival brochures are out and about in libraries and around the city, or you
