Join fantasy author and former worldbuilding sceptic Bori Cser for a primer on constructing the settings for your stories. Hear how Bori created the Renaissance-inspired world of her debut novel, Mirrorwoven, and learn just how rewarding and fun it can be to use history, the world around you, and your curiosity and imagination to build fantastical worlds of your own.

We recommend school groups use the booking form to secure a place for your students. You can book an individual session, or a three-session bundle deal for a full day of programming, via the form. Complimentary teacher tickets can also be claimed this way.
