Bewdley Festival is sharing the joy of stories with families across the Wyre Forest and beyond with the return of the annual Step into Stories event. This one day festival brings a host of children’s authors, poets, storytellers, and illustrators to Bewdley for a complete celebration of children’s literature.
Taking place on Saturday, 25th April 2026, the festival brings a real sense of fun and community to the town. Accessibility is a key aim, so the programme includes a mixture of paid and free events designed to offer something for all ages.
