About

Join us for a magical festive morning with world-famous illustrator Axel Scheffler, as he brings his much-loved characters to life through drawing and storytelling.

Enjoy a captivating reading of Gruffalo Granny, the exciting new book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. We will return back to the deep dark wood with the first new Gruffalo story in over 20 years, and meet Gruffalo Granny as she visits the Gruffalo family. Axel will also read two of his much-loved classics: Zog and Stick Man.

Children will also have the opportunity to ask Axel questions and each session will end with a book signing.

A wonderful event for children and families to celebrate the joy of stories, imagination, and illustration!
