Tuesday 26 October: The 143-Storey Treehouse by Andy Griffiths 9.30am-10.30am
Joining us live from his writing room in Australia, best-selling author Andy Griffiths is ready to make half-term that little bit sillier!
Andy and Terry have added thirteen new levels to their Treehouse (it used to be 130 storeys, but it keeps on growing!) including a word-o-matic (it knows every word in the whole world!); a recycling depot; a wrecking ball; a deep, dark cave with a real live, fire-breathing dragon; a complaining room; a spooky graveyard (where it’s always midnight, even in the middle of the day); and a camping ground where you can have a nice, relaxing camping holiday. Andy’s been a bit stressed, so Terry has decided the perfect way for them to relax is to head up to their new camping ground level for a muchneeded holiday. But it turns out to be not quite as relaxing as Terry originally planned...
Ticket Only £5 – this ticket will give you access to the live stream event only. Book & Ticket £12.99 – this ticket will give you access to the live stream event, a copy of 143-Storey Treehouse (RRP £12.99) and A FREE COPY of The Treehouse Fun Book (RRP £6.99) https://www.trybooking.com/uk/events/ landing?eid=21708&
