Ele Fountain performance
We're very excited that award-winning author, Ele Fountain, will be coming to the New Wolsey theatre this autumn. In this interesting and inspiring performance, Ele will be talking about her life as an author, share her top writing tips and explain how she came to create Wild, her page-turning adventure about the destruction of the rainforest. With readings from the book, and plenty of opportunity to ask Ele questions about her life and work, this brilliant event is not to be missed!
"What a fantastic event with Ele, and a great workshop at school too!"

We feel it is so beneficial for our children to have the opportunity to meet authors and to hear them talk about their work. The children themselves are so enthusiastic about reading after these events that we feel they are an invaluable contribution towards our children becoming both skilled readers and lovers of reading.
The details
- Please arrive at the venue at least 20 minutes before the start of the performance, so that you have enough time to find your seats and and use the bathroom. Our start times are strictly governed by the theatres that we work with and by the start and end times of the school day. If you are unavoidably delayed, please get in touch with your Children’s Bookshow contact as soon as possible.
- Depending on the time of the performance, you may want your children to bring a packed lunch. (Please contact the theatre directly to check if there is a suitable space.)
- Parking facilities vary from theatre to theatre; please check the theatre website for details.
- Please contact the theatre directly for risk assessment information.
- Please ensure your children have visited the bathroom before the show starts, or ask them to wait until after the performance ends. A constant stream of children getting up to go to the toilet is very distracting for our performers and other members of the audience.
