The Brussels fair dedicated to romance, fantasy and imaginary literature
Storyheaven 2026
On Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September 2026, StoryHeaven is organising its first edition in Brussels, a fair dedicated to romance, fantasy, romantasy, fantasy and fantasy literature. The event will finally take place at The EGG Brussels, in a new, more intimate format.
For two days, readers will be able to meet authors, attend signings, discover publishing houses and creators, but also participate in many events and activities around books. Reading spaces, creative workshops, quizzes and meetings complete the show.
StoryHeaven is particularly interesting for teenagers who are passionate about reading and fantasy universes. Calligraphy, book customization, creation of fantasy cards or even jaspage allow you to experience the book in a different way than simply by browsing the stands.

The ticket gives access to the lounge and to the activities, workshops, reading areas and meetings at no extra charge. On the other hand, not all activities work in the same way: some are free to access while others require registration on the day depending on the schedule and the places available.

What to do with teenagers in Stroryheaven?
StoryHeaven is not just a living room where you come to buy books. Several creative and participatory activities are included in the post, with formats particularly suitable for teenagers who like to read, write, draw or create. Some activities are freely accessible, others require on-site registration.
Customizing your book with Bedazzled
Choose a book you love and transform it by decorating it with rhinestones. A creative activity offered in free access, without registration or imposed time.
Create your own fantasy card
With Map Fantasy, visitors can imagine the map of their own world: territories, cities, landscapes and fantastic places take shape on paper. The activity is free and free to access, without registration.
Discover Jaspage
Jaspage allows you to decorate the edges of a book and transform your novel into a real personalized object. 2-3 hour sessions are announced on Saturday and Sunday. The activity is included in the ticket but operates by registration on site, with a limited number of places.
Learn about calligraphy
Calligraphy sessions will allow you to discover different writing techniques and play with letters, shapes and styles.
Create your bookmark
It is impossible to imagine a literary fair without bookmarks: several partners will offer visitors the opportunity to make and personalise their own bookmarks.
Participate in quizzes and the BookClub
Literary quizzes, individual or in teams, will allow you to test your knowledge of different novels, universes, genres and tropes. StoryHeaven also plans BookClub meetings around different themes.
Take a photo in a medieval setting
A photobooth will allow you to keep a souvenir of StoryHeaven in a setting inspired by a medieval royal bedroom.
Discover a fantasy exhibition
The Brolectif collective will bring together five artists for an exhibition dedicated to fantasy and the literatures of the imagination, conceived as a kind of life-size bestiary.
