What to expect
Swords Castle fills with story tents for the day. Kids meet authors and illustrators like Laureate na nÓg Chris Haughton and PJ Lynch, paint a pal with illustrators in the Little Library Tent, and catch a mechanical puppet show and the Long-Legs Sheila live show. Children's Books Ireland's Book Doctors give one-to-one reading tips, and Balor Otherworld tells myths in Dany's Den. You wander between tents, and there's a Quiet Zone when you need a break.
