Storyfest’s Beach Library activation returned to SWELL Sculpture Festival 2026, creating a free, accessible space for families and children to immerse in all things storytelling.
Filled with stories, imagination and adventure, visitors browsed the bookshelves, discovered their next read and were invited to keep the story going at home.
Across the 10-day activation, Storyfest gave away over 780 books, helping expand literary access and placing the power of storytelling in the hands of more young people.
Alongside the Beach Library, Storyfest was pleased to sponsor the SWELL Sculpture Somerset Storyfest Artist Statement Award, selected by Storyfest CEO Andrea Lewis.
