Beano characters outside of the National Library of Scotland.

Visit us on our 100th birthday to be part of our centenary celebrations. To mark the occasion, we'll be giving away a special edition centenary comic, created by Beano especially for this occasion. Until copies run out, that is! You'll also have the chance to sign our birthday card, which will be kept in our archives in perpetuity.

This is a drop-in event running throughout the day from 10am to 5pm. It is suitable for all ages.
