Oh help! Oh no! It’s a Gruffalo! Meet Julia Donaldson’s most famous creation at our Courtyard Stage and join in with songs, dancing, and games. Don’t miss the opportunity to give the Gruffalo a cuddle or a high five or even pose for a souvenir photo.

Events take place at the Book Festival's charming, leafy village at Edinburgh College of Art in the heart of the city's Old Town at Lauriston Place.

It’s a free drop in session so pop down to the Courtyard Stage at the Edinburgh Book Festival and meet the Gruffalo with #TeamDadsRock
