The Children's Bookshow!

We are delighted to welcome Michael Rosen to the Weymouth Pavilion, a brand new venue for The Children's Bookshow! As one of our finest children's poets and authors, the fifth Children's Laureate, and a passionate advocate of children's reading, Michael needs no introduction. His poetry performances have delighted audiences at The Children's Bookshow for many years with their humour, wit and verve. Join them for an exhilarating morning of poetry in performance. The show is on Monday 11 November 2019. It is an hour long and suitable for KS2. Children get to listen to Michael talk about his life and recite his brilliant poems. He gives them tips on how to write poetry and stories, plus they get the opportunity to ask questions. The Children's Bookshow have been working with Michael for many years, and find he is extremely popular with teachers and pupils alike for his inspirational qualities.

Opportunity to join a charity board

The Arts Development Company are running a pilot programme to diversify arts, culture and heritage Boards and are keen to recruit fresh faces. Creative Sector Trusts, Charities and Community Interest Companies share a commitment to diversity and inclusivity so more people are represented and influence organisations as trustees and directors. This can be difficult to implement and to help change this the company have developed a free programme for people interested in becoming a Trustee or Board Director for an organisation within Dorset. For more information on the programme and to apply please see their Callout for Trustees page. For information on the work of the The Arts Development Company generally please see their website.
