A Visit from Guy
Guy’s event is an interactive (and active!) combination of stand-up, reading, pictures, props and occasionally even a bit of dressing up. His high-octane performance explores his childhood aspirations and inspirations and includes animated readings from his books. Suitable for Years 3-6 with no real limit on numbers.
Of course, it's good for everyone if books are available to buy at the event! They can be ordered through a local bookseller (who will also handle sales) or directly through the publishers at a discount. In this case, someone will need to be on hand to sell the books. To order books and publicity material (posters/postcards/show cards) please contact Kate Smith at Stripes Publishing or publicity@scholastic.co.uk for Scholastic books.
Contact Liz Scott (liz@lizscottpr.co.uk) to arrange a visit from Guy for your school, library or festival
