Wed, 31st Oct
10.30am

A spooktacular event with brilliant local author and illustrator Mini Grey. Here is a tale of spooky paws and eerie claws.… The tale of Frankenkitty! Born of stitches and lightning, Frankenkitty wanders the halls of the darketty dark castle. Everyone trembles at the sight of him. But is he really such a foul and loathsome creature? And can anyone save him before it's too late? And what on earth is in all those jars?!
