Books Alive!

Books Alive! | 24–31 October

Books Alive! is a reimagined literature festival for families and young readers, taking place across Southport during the October half-term. Throughout the week, the town comes alive with immersive storytelling installations, live performances and interactive, author-led workshops, creating a truly magical experience for children of all ages.

Staying at Willowbank Holiday Park puts you in the perfect position to enjoy it all. Just a short drive from Southport, the park offers a peaceful, green setting to return to after a day of stories, creativity and exploration.

Combine cultural days out with relaxed evenings back at the park, and turn Books Alive! into a memorable half-term getaway by the coast.
