More information from organisers:

New Wimbledon Theatre and Roast Productions present the first Wimbledon Children’s Festival. Shows will include the European premiere of The 13-Storey Treehouse, a play by Richard Tulloch. The show is adapted from the multi-award winning book by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton. Marcel Lucont also presents A Gameshow for Awful Children (Best Kids Show 2022 – UK Kids Comedy Festival). HurlyBurly’s You Are the Sun is a very first opera for babies (and their grown-ups) explores the magic of nature.  

Kicking off the children’s literary events, international bestselling author Jennifer Bell will take audiences on an adventure through her new book, Magicalia: Race of Wonders. Spectacular beasts called ‘magicores’ are then conjured using different emotions. Learn about ancient meteorites, the science of energy as well as the magic of the imagination. Join bestselling and award-winning illustrator and author, Lydia Monks for a fun and interactive session of storytelling and live drawing to celebrate the launch of her new book with Julia Donaldson, The Tooth Fairy and the Crocodile.
