Southgate Children's Literature Festival

Get ready for a brand-new, action-packed event coming this summer! The Southgate Children’s Literature Festival is set to be an exciting addition to the borough’s social calendar, bringing families, schools, and book lovers together for a day of storytelling, theatre, and creativity. Taking place on Saturday, July 12, 2025, this festival will put Southgate on the literary map—and if all goes well, it could become an annual celebration! With 10 local schools already involved, venues along Chase Side, N14 buzzing with activity, and support from local MP Bambos Charalambous, the festival promises to be a huge success. Across five fantastic venues—including St. Andrew’s Church, the Halo Theatre, and the Southgate Club—there will be workshops, live performances, and special guests bringing stories to life for children aged 12 and under.
