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. Through plenty of laughs and feel-good energy, discover a heartwarming tale about friendship, self-expression and being proud of who you are.
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.
Location: Manchester Central Library
