This workshop begins with a tour of the Pen Museum

What happens when comedy authors spend a festive season working in a garden centre grotto? Chaos, comedy… and a trilogy of Christmas novels for grown-ups.

Join Goody and Grant at the Pen Museum for a sneak peek under the Christmas tree as they share the real-life mayhem that inspired their Garden Centre Christmas books. Expect tales of costume malfunctions, elf gossip, and how to get into the grotto’s accident book.

This isn’t just a talk but an interactive event for readers and lovers of great stories.

We’ll be putting your skills to the test in our Competitive Gift Wrapping Challenge. Show off your paper-folding flair or embrace the chaos.

Perfect for fans of British humour, festive farce, and anyone who’s ever wanted to peek behind the scenes at Santa’s grotto.
