Writing Tales with Piers Torday
Join together for a spooky writing session in our beautiful Sam Wanamaker Playhouse with award-winning children’s author Piers Torday. Part of our new family event series Telling Tales.
Piers will guide families through key ingredients to entertain, mystify and shock readers when creating your own story idea. Exploring themes perfect for both Halloween and cosy reading days, children and adults will combine forces to start an exciting writing journey together.
You’ll also hear how Piers started writing, and where he finds inspiration for his books, including recent titles The Last Wild and The Lost Magician, alongside his forthcoming book Midnight Treasure, with time to ask your questions in a Q&A session.
