We’re delighted to be bringing the Storylines Story Tours back to communities across Aotearoa in 2026, connecting tamariki and rangatahi with inspiring authors, illustrators, and storytellers. We will also be offering tickets workshops in each region this year.

Tours will take place in:

  • Hawke’s Bay/Wairoa (20–23 May)
  • Te Tai Tokerau (5–8 August)
  • Waikato (16–19 September)
  • Tāmaki Makaurau (28–31 October).

Thanks to our generous funders, all visits are free for schools & kura, libraries and community groups.

Places can fill quickly in some regions, so we encourage you to book early to avoid missing out.
