Frank Cottrell-Boyce performance

How did it go?

We had a great time at the Blackpool Grand theatre, immersed in books and stories with awesome author Frank Cottrell Boyce. 850 local school children came to listen to Frank talk about his life as a writer, ask him questions, listen to him read extracts from his latest book and watch him perform magic!!! Everyone went home smiling with their very own copy of The Wonder Brothers, a story set in Blackpool about what happens when the iconic tower goes missing. It was…MAGIC!

Frank Cottrell-Boyce Workshop

Frank Cottrell Boyce also visited four lucky Blackpool schools and ran a creative writing workshop with classes of Year 5 and 6 children.
