Please visit this year’s festival programme for the latest 2021 events.

So you think you know carrots, eh? Wait until you’ve met one of Chris’s carrots! Chris has been creating all kinds of wonderful things during Lockdown, including vegetables with faces,  cloud dogs, cats and elephants. Check out @ADaily_Cloud on Twitter – it’s inspired!

Today he’ll share his new book, Eggcorns: From Bumbumbees to Jellycopters, and will then show you how to create your own carrot and potato creatures. Have some carrots and potatoes ready to draw on, and a black marker (a Sharpie is ideal).

A brilliant live, interactive event, delivered digitally for the whole family!

Eggcorns: From Bumbum Bees to Jellycopters

Have you ever seen a Bumbum bee, or an Elelamp? Does your pet wear Doggles? These are all Eggcorns, where a child’s mispronunciation can add a whole other level of meaning! What would a bumbum bee (bumblebee) or Elelamp (elephant) look like? Or Doggles (goggles) or a Carcodile (crocodile)? Illustrator Chris Judge (The Lonely Beast, Danger is Everywhere) has brought his bizarre sense of humour to imagine them for us all.
