About this event

Over an exciting weekend, attendees will have the chance to immerse themselves in a universe where the pages of their favourite novels come to life. The festival not only offers an agenda packed with interactive activities, but also provides meeting spaces for sharing passions and discovering the latest developments in the sector.

Among the featured activities, participants will be able to attend literary creativity workshops, where they will learn techniques to enrich their writing and unlock their creative potential. In addition, the cosplay contest promises to become a parade of iconic characters, providing a unique opportunity for fans to show their admiration and artistic skills.

Alongside this, the literary market will allow visitors to acquire everything from special editions to exclusive merchandise from their favourite series.

There will also be book-signing sessions, an ideal moment to interact directly with the authors and obtain that personalised copy which will occupy a special place on attendees’ bookshelves. And for those wishing to add a touch of magic to their experience, the beauty bar will offer fairytale-themed make-up, transforming fans into true storybook characters.
