Join together for a spooky session in our beautiful Sam Wanamaker Playhouse with award-winning children’s author Piers Torday. Part of our 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 The Last Wild and The Lost Magician, alongside his forthcoming book Wolf Crown, the anticipated follow-up to 2024’s Midnight Treasure.

There will also be time to ask Piers your questions in a Q&A session.
