About the event



Come along to The Straw Yard this February half term for a brilliantly bold and exciting day, that’s suitable for all of the family! 


Award-winning author & illustrator, Jane Porter is bringing her brand-new picture book BE BOLD BOB to Berwick-upon-Tweed! 


Join Jane as she gives you exclusive access to how she created this beautiful story about a shy elephant, who secretly longs to perform. 

As well as reading her brand new book to you, Jane will also be leading a hands on crafting workshop, showing you how to make your very own performing character. You’ll be provided with a special collection of interesting collage pieces! Will you make a singing crocodile, a trumpeting tortoise, or maybe a gorilla with a guitar? 


Jane will give you lots of tips on letting the scraps suggest a story.

The exhibition will be open throughout the day and is free to attend. It will be closed to the public during the workshops. Jane will be selling and signing copies of her book, BE BOLD BOB.
