How many words can Newport read in one day?  Words will be counted in venues all across the city - from e-mails to the front page of the Argus.

Come and join Newport’s Big Read as part of the National Year of Reading at The Riverfront.

See the word count ’thermometer’ rise.  Hear Frank Cottrell Boyce talking about his famous scripts and meet award winning author and story teller Daniel Morden along with other adult and children’s authors.  Plus take the chance to write your own script and take part in other reading and writing activities designed for all the family to celebrate National Year of Reading.

All ages welcome!
