A week of swashboggling storytelling…
Join us this February half-term for swiggles of swashboggling storytelling and the chance to share a bit of piggery-jokery with some Roald Dahl Funny Prize winners. Liz Pichon will introduce you to her hilarious Tom Gates books on Monday 13 February, and Peter Bentley and Jim Field will be sharing their book Cats Ahoy! on Thursday 16 February. On top of all this we have workshops galore including Valentine's day chocolate decorating, BFG drama workshops, and Squiffing shadow puppets. Phew!
