Join much-loved children’s writer and illustrator Nick Sharratt in a family-friendly, fun-filled drawalong for all ages.

He’ll be taking a look at some of his favourite books, showing you how to create characters like Tracy Beaker and Timothy Pope, sharing ways to invent your own crazy creatures and giving loads of top tips as you draw along with him. Nick has illustrated close to 300 books including the much-loved ‘You Choose’, ‘Shark in the Park’ and ‘Pants’ series.

He’s worked with authors including Julia Donaldson, Michael Rosen and Kes Gray, and he’s also illustrated lots of Dame Jacqueline Wilson’s phenomenally popular children’s novels. Nick’s been awarded a gold Blue Peter badge too! Bring pencils, paper and something to lean on and expect plenty of chances to join in.

Running time 75 minutes, no interval.

There will be signed books for sale at the venue.
