A flotsam and jetsam inspired creative writing workshop with children’s author and artist Wendy Constance. This fun writing workshop uses plastic and natural debris washed up by the tide as inspiration, and encourages us to think about science and the natural world, pollution and how we can better look after our environment. Suitable for ages 7-11 year olds.

Stamp Your Passports at Festival Learning Destinations

We’re helping our good friends at Essex Children’s University to provide 5-14 year olds with exciting learning experiences outside school. Once issued with a Passport to Learning, ‘CU Learners’ collect stamps and attend a special Graduation Ceremony. All Essex Book Festival YOUNG ESSEX events are CU Learning Destinations – bring your passport, get it stamped, and enjoy your learning journey! Find out how to get your very own Passport to Learning at essexchildrensuniversity.co.uk
