Horrible Science with Nick Arnold
Nick Arnold, the author of the Horrible Science series, will be joining us in the Guildhall for an interactive session all about the icky and hilarious bits of science which your kids won't hear about at school.

Nick will be entertaining the next generation of young scientists from 12pm on Saturday 12th November at the Guildhall. Admission is Free.

We'll be pushing our magical theme to its limits on Sunday, with a wordy workshop all about spells and magic - ideal for the younger festival-goer. With real magicians doing real(ish) magic, this is sure to be an entertaining and exciting session. Let's see what spells your little ones can dream up, and let their imaginations take flight on our magical aternoon. |
Children's stories with Ann Widdecombe

To round off our children's entertainment and activities for the festival, we're delighted to have Strictly Come Dancing star, author and politician Ann Widdecombe join us to read some children's stories.
No stranger to public speaking, Ann will bring the stories to life with her trademark humour and sense of fun. It's not very often you get your children's stories read to you by an ex-Home Secretary, so why not come along and have a half hour of fun and tall tales from one of Britain's most outspoken politicians. |
