Francesca Simon is universally known for the staggeringly popular Horrid Henry series and is at the Canterbury campus on Saturday 28 October for the first family-friendly In Conversation.

University Chancellor, Gavin Esler, will chat with Francesca Simon about her books, characters and favourite Horrid Henry moments, in an event suitable for young and old fans alike. Tickets for the talk cost £5 (£4 for staff/students/children).

Carry on the fun by joining us for a tea party. Following the conversation, there will be a Francesca Simon-themed tea party for all ages with an exclusive book signing and a chance to meet Francesca herself! Ticket prices are £3 per adult and £2 per child, inclusive of food and drink at the tea party.
