The Festival of Brilliant
A celebration of children's books returns to Biddulph in 2025
About
12th July 2025
We believe that books and stories have the power to change the world. Families and school children from across the Moorlands are invited to join us and a raft of world class authors, illustrators and artists for an incredible festival to feed their imaginations.
The Festival of Brilliant has been established by a group of children and young people, teachers, librarians, artists and authors from the Moorlands who share a love of reading.
This year’s edition features two Children’s Laureates Frank Cottrell Boyce and Joseph Coelho, author/illustrator Nadia Shireen, author and BookTrust Writer in Residence Patrice Lawrence, and spoken word artist Steven Camden (aka Polarbear), plus many more authors, illustrators, poets and performers.
