Feb 28 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm

This year’s Children’s Book Fair on Saturday 28th February at HLSI welcomes special guest Clara Vulliamy (Martha & the Bunny Brothers, Small, Tom & Small, Lucky Wish Mouse, Dixie O’Day), following in the footsteps of previous guests including Alex T. Smith, Anthony Browne, Michael Rosen, Allan Ahlberg, Helen Oxenbury and, of course, Clara’s mother, Shirley Hughes.
There will be secondhand books for sale, children’s activities, home-made cakes and biscuits and Clara’s books will be sold by Muswell Hill Children’s Bookshop. Clara will be on stage at 11 to read from her books and to draw for us, and she’ll stay to sign copies of her books.
The Fair runs from 10 until 1 at Highgate Literary & Scientific Institution, 11 South Grove, Pond Square, N6 6BS.

Mama’s Kitchen – Layla Rosa @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 22 @ 8:00 pm – 9:15 pm

Mama’s Kitchen is a place for experimentation and curious concoctions, serving up a menu of pioneering performance.

The brainchild of Shunt artist Layla Rosa and curated especially for Postcards, expect circus artists, theatre makers, musicians, visual artists and a whole heap of other exciting performances that we’re not entirely sure about just yet.

But if previous outings at The Shunt Lounge are anything to go by, Mama’s Kitchen will be unexpected and hugely memorable.
