For Schools

We’re delighted to offer a range of events for students across the Island. In order to be truly equitable, we have reserved a number of tickets for each primary school, so that every school gets the chance to attend at least one of the author events held at the Freedom Centre. We have also reserved a number of tickets for home-school students.

Each primary school will receive an email from us letting you know the details of your reserved tickets and how to confirm the allotted spaces. There will be a firm cut-off date for confirmation. Remaining tickets will then be put out for general release and at that point it will be possible to request further tickets for your students to attend events – the allocation will be  on a first-come-first-served basis. For ticket requests please email [email protected]

The secondary school events will be taking place at Haute Vallee, Hautlieu and Victoria College. They will be open to all schools and spaces can be reserved by emailing [email protected]

Please remember to include the number of teachers accompanying students in your request.

All Freedom Centre performances are one hour long, with an author book signing afterwards (please arrange coach pick-up time to allow for this – approximately 20-30 minutes). A hearing induction loop will be available, with assistance for any visually impaired attendees. All events will be speech-to-text interpreted.

We encourage schools to organise book purchases for their students where possible, either before the event or on the day (further details to follow). As well as encouraging reading and providing the children with a signed memento of their day, strong book sales help us attract authors to the Island for subsequent festivals!
