Hay Festival Global has announced the free schools programme to open the spring edition in Hay-on-Wye this year, and Anthony Horowitz will be appearing!

The schools programme brings together writers and young readers for a series of inspiring interactive activities and conversations, across in person and online, with support from the Welsh government and the Rothschild Foundation.

Sessions will also be streamed free online, with closed captioning available in Welsh and English. They will be available free after the event on Hay Festival Anytime at hayfestival.org/anytime.

Parents and teachers can explore the programme and book at hayfestival.org/schools.
