Next up, Zanib Mian!

Join Zanib Mian for an event centred around her laugh-out-loud Planet Omar series, with amazing cartoon-style illustrations.

Omar and his friends are taking part in a national rocket building competition. With a little help from Omar’s scientist mum and dad and some fart power too, they come up with a rocket that’s ready to blast off.

But when someone starts sabotaging the rockets, the boys find themselves on a new mission to reveal the culprit…

This is a hybrid event, and people can attend either in-person at the Hat Factory or join the online stream.

4-5pm in the Hat Factory Theatre. Ages 7-14.

You can book tickets to see Zainab Mian through the Culture Trust website.

Tickets for all the author events and workshops will need to be booked in advance through the Culture Trust website and all children must be accompanied by an adult.
