The festival runs from the 14th to 22nd February. Featuring a top line-up of children's writers including Michael Rosen, John Hegley, Philip Ardagh, Jeremy Strong, Francesca Beard, Eoin Colfer and children's stand-up comedian James Campbell.

This year's Imagine Festival is a feast of words, laughter, jokes and games especially for children. Featuring storytelling, fiction, poetry, stand-up comedy and music, the festival features top children's authors and performers. The fun takes place all over Southbank Centre, with storytelling chairs in Queen Elizabeth Hall Foyer, a joke-telling wall and free performances and workshops across the site. You can also collect and exchange jokes and pictures around Southbank Centre to make your very own book.
