Welcome to the IW Story Festival

Held during February half term at Quay Arts, Newport, Isle of Wight

It’s a special place for children and families to have fun together; where we can all CREATE, INSPIRE and IMAGINE.


Stories are all around us; not just in books and poems and plays and songs, but also in the news and history and the places we live. Over three days, the IW Story Festival lets you get lost in stories of all kinds...

Our aim is to:

  • let children and their families CREATE; whether through stories and poems, junk modelling or other crafts; to have fun together and discover new talents

  • let authors, poets, actors, illustrators, spoken word artists and others INSPIRE you to create your own stories; to discover new worlds and new ideas

  • let us all IMAGINE the amazing things we can do and the amazing things we can be.

What stories will you bring with you?
