Dylan, Daisy and the Disco Ball with Robert Tregoning Strut your stuff with author Robert Tregoning in this joyful, confidence-boosting event inspired by Dylan, Daisy and the Disco Ball . When Dylan’s first school disco leaves him feeling self-conscious, a sparkling disco ball and his best friend Daisy help him find the courage to dance again.

Robert Tregoning studied at the Glasgow School of Art before leaping into a career on the West End stage. He has appeared in shows including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda the Musical . As an LGBTQ+ writer, he hopes to help children and adults alike to accept and celebrate all that makes us uniquely ourselves. Suitable for ages 4 – 7. This event will last for 45 minutes. Please note all children must be accompanied by an adult.
