What's on?
As well as meeting our wonderful authors, and shopping with our creative vendors, we have lots of activities at All Booked Up.
So much of the below is included in your ticket price, but we have noted where anything is an additional cost.
Book-themed Crafts
Do you enjoy being creative but don't want to buy all the equipment you'd need? Have a go at one of our book-themed crafts and see if you like it before committing to a new hobby (we're looking at you, with the room of half-finish products!).
Our booking system for crafts opens in August, only on our website. You must have purchased your ticket/s already.

Industry & Author talks
Whether you're a reader interested in the behind the scenes, or a budding writer wondering what the next step is, we have a variety of talks an panels for everyone. From Book Distribution, to How to start a Book Club, to Romance panels, there is plenty to look forward to, all included in your ticket price!
Most of our talks are appropriate for (although not aimed at) younger ears, but please check the programme.

Little Readers
We believe reading is the most important education for children, so our 'Little Readers' area will have a reading corner stocked with books to read on the day.
We are also lucky to have some of our wonderful authors, and some special guests, doing story time throughout the weekend.
And we haven't forgotten about children's crafts. These will not be booked in advance, but come along and make a bookmark or design a book magnet to take home!

Author/Guest Readings
Hear snippets of our author's books. Who will tempt you into adding to your never-ending TBR? Will you try something new?
Readings will be from a variety of genres, including children's literature in our Little Readers space.

Raffles
Each day, we will have a raffle with literary prizes ranging from books, puzzles, experiences and more.
Oh, and you could win a Kobo...
