SO NOW THE REAL COUNTDOWN BEGINS - MARCH 10 - 4.15pm
Quick guide to what’s great for young families
Yup, just seven days to go. Launches of course are always a heady cocktail of jitters, endorphins and full-on thrill. And the festival launch is no different (think Christmas Day morning). Which brings us nicely on to what young families can look forward to over the festival’s nine days (Part II follows tomorrow) -

PS. Over the years, and thanks ALWAYS to their very specific audience, these events often turn out to be 1. nothing short of joyous and 2. a festival highlight (for example, last year’s Star Wars event at the Story Museum with JAKe and Tom Huddelston and, the year before, comedian Julian Clary - yes, you read that right - at The Sheldonian).
