You can also register for one free act to enjoy before the main event including:
- How to Save Your Granny from a Runaway Train: a silly science show based on Swapna Haddow’s non-fiction series where WE NEED YOU to help Granny stop a runaway train, trick a shark, escape a deserted island and more
- The BIG Beano Draw-along with Nigel Parkinson, where you can learn to illustrate like a comic creator
- Join author Farhana Islam for a hilarious, interactive adventure where you’ll meet the characters of The Misadventures of Mina Mahmood and unleash your own creativity by writing a funny story and designing your very own book cover!
Space is limited for the free acts, so don’t forget to register early.
On the day you’ll also be able to enjoy free activities including face painting, scavenger hunts, and book signings.
