StoryFest: Craig Barr-Green

Join us at the Bandstand on the Killacourt for a free fun-filled storytelling event with Craig Barr-Green on Tuesday 25th August at 10:30am. This session is suitable for those aged 4 – 8.

We’ll be going on an adventure with Gina Kaminski, Craig’s most adventurous storybook character, and you’ll get to witness all of the author’s gusto on stage.

Children attending will receive a free copy of Craig’s storybook, Gina Saves The Wolf, during the StoryFest Newquay event. Claim your free ticket here or use the sign up sheet next time you’re at Newquay Library.

StoryFest Newquay is hosted by Clemo Books in partnership with Newquay Library and Newquay Town Council and funded by the Penguin Children’s Bookshop Grant to celebrate the National Year of Reading 2026.
