What's On

Waterstones Children's Book Festival - Dundee.
Following the enormous success of last year’s inaugural Waterstones Children’s Book Festival, our celebration of the magic of children’s literature returns in 2026. Coming to Dundee from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 February and jam-packed with author events, workshops, activities and more, book your tickets now for a truly unmissable event.

Dennis the Menace has a birthday wish – he wants to break the rules of reading!

Join Beano’s Directors of Mischief and Mayhem, Mike Stirling and Craig Graham, help him, sharing riotous jokes from their latest Beano Boomic, The Day We Got Lost in Time and revealing their top-secret tips for creating the comic strips, where Dennis has starred since 1951.

Join their Mischief Squad, as you help co-create a new comic strip, cheeky enough to turn Dennis’s birthday into a national Gnashional LOL-a-day!

It's the cheekiest, funniest, most creative show ever!

Suitable for budding young writers aged 7 plus.
