Visiting the Festival with Children

Please adhere to the recommended age range specified for all Book It! events (with a LB booking number). These ages are carefully chosen in consultation with publishers and performers, taking into account the event length, format and content.

Children under 12 years must be accompanied by a responsible person aged 16 or over, approved by the parent/guardian, and prices are kept as low as possible to allow for this. A responsible person aged 16 or over approved by the parent/guardian can accompany up to 6 children to an event. Cheltenham Festivals maintains a Child Protection Policy, but cannot act in loco parentis or take responsibility for unsupervised children. If your child is disruptive you may be asked to leave an event.

For all events except Write On! workshops a ticket must be purchased for each person attending.
