In-school workshops

This year, The Children's Bookshow is allocating sixty FREE in-school workshops to schools who attend the related theatre performances.

These lively workshops offer an invaluable opportunity for the children to develop their own creative skills by working with an author, illustrator or poet in their own classroom. Book tickets for a performance near you to be eligible for one of our free school workshops.
