Only 14 days left until we throw open the gates of Dairy Meadows and welcome you all in.
In anticipation of all the jollity to come we’ve got books and tickets to giveaway here everyday right up until the festival. Each day will bring a new pair of star writers, and a new chance to win tickets to see them at Hay along with copies of their latest books (full T&Cs below).
Today’s tip-top writers are Jacqueline Wilson and Atinuke.
Jacqueline’s books sit at the heart of children’s bookcases across the world, whilst Atinuke’s delightful storytelling is establishing her as a firm favourite among families. Each of them are known for their charm and authenticity, both in their work and real life – we can’t wait to see them on stage.
To be in with a chance to win leave us a comment telling us the best thing about families.
Good luck!

The best thing about family is how they are always willing to forgive mistakes!
The best thing is the natural support network – no matter what emergencies arise someone somwhere will drop everything and come – even if they have to travel 200 miles (thanks Mary!)
The best thing about family is the warm, huggy feeling that you are all wrapped up safe in a snuggly blanket when they are around you :0D Love my family lots like jelly tots ❤
