Join in this hilarious interactive event with the multi-award-winning Essex-born author behind the wildly popular Oi Frog and 'Friends' series.

Kes Gray eats Ideaflakes for breakfast, spreads silliness on his toast and loves to write books that will make children laugh out loud. He will be talking about his books, and how growing up in Chelmsford inspired them.

This event is part of Oi Chelmsford! - a day of family storytelling, and artist and writing workshops at the Museum of Chelmsford set against the fabulous backdrop of the exhibition Oi Chelmsford! Kes Gray: Chelmsford Born and Read. A celebration of the work and life of Kes Gray.

Tickets: £6 includes entry to Museum of Chelmsford
