Imagine Children's Festival 2019

Now in its eighteenth year, Southbank Centre’s Imagine Children’s Festival notches up more than 180 events in 12 days – half of which are free. The 2019 line-up includes children’s theatre shows, a comedy club you can bring your baby to and art installations to poke around. On Feb 16, older kids can see three A-list authors – Jacqueline Wilson, Malorie Blackman and Chris Riddell – while little ones might like ‘Captain Flinn & the Pirate Dinosaurs: The Magic Cutlass’, from Feb 19-23.
