About Family Workshop: ⁠Portals and Other Worlds

Picture of the three authors and their books.

Join authors Anne Chen, Candy Gourlay and Camille Whitcher as they explore story portals to other worlds.

Take part in our storytelling workshop, as Anne reveals a strange boy from another universe who flies out of a wardrobe, Camille introduces you to a giant rabbit, while Candy explains how a boy and his dog fall into a crack and find themselves in a fireplace.

Then get creative as we create our very own portals and imagine worlds you never thought existed!

Please book one ticket per person in your group.
