The Storyfest Beach Library returned to SWELL Sculpture Festival 2026, creating a free, accessible space for families and children to immerse in all things storytelling. 📚

Filled with stories, imagination and adventure, visitors browsed the bookshelves, discovered their next read and were invited to keep the story going at home.

Across the 10-day activation, we had the opportunity to share free books with our community, extending literary access to more young readers.

Alongside the Beach Library, we were pleased to sponsor the SWELL Sculpture Somerset Storyfest Artist Statement Award, selected by Storyfest CEO Andrea Lewis.

We’d like to thank everyone who helped bring our Beach Library activation to life for yet another year at SWELL Sculpture Festival!
