In-school workshops

Each year, The Children's Bookshow allocates 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.
