Frequently asked questions
How are creative writing workshop sessions organized at the festival?
Sessions are grouped by the child's age and run on a first-come, first-seated basis at each festival city stop, so arriving early improves the chance of a seat.
Is there a cost to attend the creative writing workshops?
Workshop sessions themselves are free. At the Delhi edition, a separate Sunder Nursery park entry ticket applies since the festival is held inside the heritage park.
Do children need prior writing experience to join?
No prior writing experience is required. Sessions are designed as an introduction to creative writing and storytelling for children across the festival's four-to-fourteen age range.
Is the same workshop available across every city the festival visits?
Creative writing workshops run as part of the programme at each 2026 stop, in Delhi, Bhopal, Srinagar, and Vadodara, though the specific session line-up can vary by city and edition.
