Organised by Arts House Group, Monstrous Fun 2026 returns with a playful and imaginative line-up of experiences for children and families. Centred on storytelling, books and creativity, the festival invites young readers to step into worlds shaped by imagination – where monsters spark curiosity rather than fear and stories become shared adventures.
Families can look forward to lively literary encounters including interactive performances, hands-on workshops and story-driven activities that encourage creativity, play and exploration. These experiences are designed to spark a love for reading and storytelling, while creating meaningful moments of connection for children and caregivers alike.
Beyond performances and workshops, Monstrous Fun 2026 also features free drop-in activities, inviting children to draw, make, explore and invent at their own pace. From visual art and print-based activities to playful quests through festival spaces and a Monster Parade, these experiences are designed as accessible entry points into the joy of stories and books.
