We’re delighted to announce that Paisley Book Festival’s Family Day is back for 2026. Taking place on Saturday 16 May at the Paisley Town Hall and Paisley Central Library, this special day is packed with free bookish fun for little readers and their grown-ups.
Expect engaging story sessions with brilliant children’s authors, creative workshops, and lively performances. Whether it’s sparking imaginations, getting hands-on with storytelling, or simply sharing the joy of books, the Paisley Book Festival Family Day is all about celebrating stories together.
All events are FREE but ticketed, so booking is required.
