Join Michael Rosen for a playful family poetry session full of rhymes, surprises, and curious questions. Through word games and stories, explore how language can be silly, serious, and full of wonder—all at once. Everyone welcome! FAMILY PROGRAMME

Step into the joyful chaos of language with beloved author Michael Rosen, whose poetry invites children and families to play, question, and imagine together. Through rhymes, rhythms, and riddles, Rosen’s work turns readers into co-creators—active participants in a world where meaning leaps, twists, and surprises. Expect laughter, unexpected turns, and moments of quiet reflection as Rosen explores how poetry can hold both silliness and seriousness, danger and empathy, all at once. With stories like We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, he shows how even the simplest tale can open up complex emotions and perspectives. This session celebrates poetry as a shared adventure—where every word is a doorway, and every reader helps shape the journey.
