We are delighted to present this exciting and enchanting hour of poetry fun with John Agard, for children of all ages and their adults. Join the much-loved poet for a special reading of his children’s work including the classic Windrush Child. John is a truly legendary performer of his words, breathing energy and play into each of his poems. He is fascinated with the world, and how everything works, taking inspiration from science and fairytales, maths, music and much more.
The event includes refreshments and will be followed by a book signing.
