The Children’s Party at the Palace
The Children’s Party at the Palace took place in the gardens of Buckingham Palace on 25 June 2006. In a unique and extraordinary celebration of British Children’s literature, characters from children’s stories came together with authors, celebrities and children from all around the UK (chosen by ballot) to celebrate The Queen’s 80th birthday.
The Children’s Literary Trust
The Children’s Literary Trust was a charity created as a result of the Children’s Party at the Palace. It is delighted to support the 2007 CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Children’s Book Awards in this their special 70th and 50th anniversary year and one year after the Children’s Party at the Palace.
The remaining surplus funds have been allocated to relevant children’s literary causes.
