Join local children’s author Lisette Auton for an exciting free event for families, and people of all ages who are interested in story, words, imagination, and perhaps becoming an author themselves.
Learn about Lisette’s exciting middle-grade novels, The Secret of Haven Point and The Stickleback Catchers, and celebrate the launch of Lights Up set in this very theatre – Darlington Hippodrome!
In this interactive event discover more about Lisette’s journey to becoming an author, how to get inspiration from the places around you, meet Rex the theatre ghost dog, and decide what you would keep in your beard!
The event includes a question and answer session with the author.
There will be the opportunity to buy books from local independent Drake the Bookshop and to meet Lisette while she signs your copy.
There will also be a display of some of the items from the Hippodrome’s archive that inspired Lisette to write the story, and maybe will spark some creative ideas for you too!
This event will be BSL interpreted and audio described.
