Join us this half term for a fun, imaginative family workshop with author and illustrator Bryony Thomson, celebrating Children’s Bookfest Chichester and the National Year of Reading.
Get ready to meet The Wardrobe Monster! Bryony will bring her wonderful storytelling to life in an interactive session, followed by a lively draw-along where children can let their imaginations run wild and create their very own monster-inspired artwork.
Perfect for young artists, book lovers and monster enthusiasts, this session is a chance to listen, draw, imagine and create together in the inspiring surroundings of Pallant House Gallery.
Our 11am session is most suitable for families and children aged 4-7 (there is no charge for attending parents or siblings under 4).
Our 2pm session is most suitable for families with children aged 4-11 (there is no charge for attending parents or siblings under 4).
Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
All drawing and sketching materials will be provided.
