The Festival of Brilliant

Hundreds of families and school children attended new children’s book festival, The Festival of Brilliant, at the magical Biddulph Old Hall in 2025. And it’s back in 2026!

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.
