Author Andrea Curtis & illustrator Katy Dockrill want to know – what do YOU think makes the perfect neighbourhood? Is it a sky-high swing set or a lovely little library? Perhaps a delightful dog park or a brilliant bakery? Or maybe it’s the neighbours themselves!

Come along and join this fun, interactive workshop to create a 3-D city and discover their new book, City of Neighbours, and see what people around the world are doing to take their neighbourhoods to the next level … and what we can do right here at home! Workshops with Andrea and Katy are at 10.30am and 12pm or drop-in and add your own ideas and inspiration.

Suitable for all ages.
