London Borough of Culture Author Events

Bring your pupils to an author event and encourage them to keep reading!

We are thrilled to be working with Waterstones to bring several ‘meet the author’ events to Wandsworth during the Autumn term. Over the course of each day, we will welcome primary school classes to listen to the authors talk about their latest books and work, and inspire a love of reading.

The first three events will be with celebrated authors Chris Riddell, Joseph Coelho and Cressida Cowell - please see the schedule below and sign up via the links provided.
