What fantastic news! 🎉 Appledore Book Festival, in partnership with Torridge Pilot Gig Club, became the proud winners of 'The Sylvester's Cup for Best Juniors Float' at this years Appledore Carnival!

Our brilliant ‘Gig Stars’, dressed as their favourite book characters, brought the magic of reading to life as they travelled around the Carnival route. 📚⭐

And the excitement didn’t stop there — we distributed an amazing 250 Festival programmes along the way!

So now it’s time to book your tickets for this year’s fantastic line-up of authors and events! 🎟️📖✨
