74. Hugh Bonneville: Rory Sparkes and the Elephant in the Room
Buckle up for the adventure of a lifetime in this hilarious family event with Paddington star and children’s author, Hugh Bonneville, as he brings the fun with his first children's book, Rory Sparkes and the Elephant in the Room.
Bonneville will be joined by special guest Katherine Woodfine, bestselling author of more than 15 books for children, including The Clockwork Sparrow and the Sinclair's Mysteries and Taylor & Rose Secret Agents series. Find out where authors get their ideas from and how adventures on stage and screen helped Bonneville use his own childhood memories as inspiration for his story of adventure, friends and animal encounters!
Meet Rory Sparkes, a boy with a head full of dreams. As Rory plots to help his best friend, Guy, earn enough money to buy the latest top-of-the-line model boat (so they can set sail for South America), the circus rolls into town and everything spirals out of control. Will Rory’s plans work out? Join us to find out!
Suitable for families and children aged 8+.
