About this Event
Join Sheena Dempsey for a fun hour in the Comic Academy exploring the world of the time-travelling penguins Pablo and Splash.
Meet the characters, discover how Sheena brings their comic adventures to life and put your Pablo and Splash knowledge to the test with a fun quiz. Sheena will lead children through draw-alongs and readings, while sharing some of the ideas and inspiration behind her bestselling graphic novel series. Sheena's latest book Pablo and Splash Viking Voyage reached No. 1 in the children's bestseller chart in June 2026.
Perfect for young comic fans who love funny characters, drawing and adventure!
