Children's Adventure Workshop with Louie Stowell

Workshops take place every Thursday, 10am - 11am between 29 July - 26 August 2021

Join Louie Stowell on an outdoor adventure and quest workshop based on her new book, Otherland. Do you dare complete the trials set by the wicked queen of Otherland? Your wits, your ingenuity, your agility will all be put to the test.

Otherland is a dangerous magical underworld – a place where appearances can be deceptive and anything can happen. A world of gods, vampires, and fairies. It’s also… horrible. Good luck! And whatever you do...stick to the path. You don't want to know what happens if you stray...

Please stay for the event to supervise young questers. Each ticket will admit one child and one adult. Outdoor clothes advised. Please get in touch with any access questions.

Meet at the High Street gate of Abney Park.

Event suitable for ages 8 and above.

About Otherland, the book

When life-long friends Myra and Rohan discover that Rohan’s baby sister Shilpa has been stolen and taken to Otherland, the only way to rescue her is by taking part in a deadly game – three impossible challenges set by the Fairy Queen of Otherland. Win the game, and Rohan and Myra can go home with Shilpa – but lose, and they’ll be trapped in Otherland forever…

A darkly funny, action-packed fantasy adventure, perfect for fans of The Strangeworlds Travel Agency, Malamander, and The Land of Roar, from the author of the highly-acclaimed Dragon in the Library series.
