Reading and Singing with Jonathan Meres – Noodle the Doodle Wins the Day (Children's Event)
On:5th July 2022, 10:30am - 11:00am
We are so delighted to be welcoming Jonathan Meres (and Pablo!) to the bookshop for a children's event to celebrate his new book Noodle the Doodle Wins the Day!
The event is sure to be a lot of fun with activity sheets, an author reading and even some songs. Perfect for younger readers during the holidays, this event will last around 30 minutes.
This event is aimed at children aged 5-8 and attendees must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. We are planning for the event to take place in the bookshop in our children’s section. On the morning of the event, our team will be wearing masks.
Please note that £3 vouchers are only redeemable in the bookshop on the day of the event – we’ll have a list of attendee vouchers to be redeemed.
Information on accessibility in the bookshop can be found here.
About Noodle the Doodle Wins the Day:
Sports Day has arrived at Wigley Primary and everyone is excited to take part in unusual events like book balancing, frisbee tossing and seeing who can race in the most layers of clothes! Of course Noodle the doodle is desperate to join in all the fun, but when he gets a new partner-in-crime, Daniel the spaniel, are the canine capers going to spiral out of control or can Noodle win the day ...?
Jonathan Meres is a former merchant seaman, ice cream van driver and Perrier Award-nominated stand-up comedian. As a writer he is best known for being the author of over 20 books for children and in particular his best-selling, award-winning series, The World Of Norm.
Please note: Tickets for our events are non-refundable. Professional photography and videography may take place during this event. Thank you for your understanding.

We have a ramp at the front of the shop which has a ratio of 1:10 and loading capacity of 300kg, and so should be able to be used by most wheelchair users or those with mobility vehicles. The front doors are fully automated. Our shop interior is designed to allow access throughout for wheelchair users and prams, though please note there is only 700mm wide clearance to access the staff toilet.
Sound
We use a PA system to enhance the audio at our live events. We also have a hearing loop system installed, if you’d like to use our loop system during an event please let us know and we’ll make sure we have it set up and connected to the live audio feed during the event. If you wish to attend an event and require BSL interpretation, please give us a few weeks notice and we’ll do our best to arrange an interpreter.
