Twitastic half-term fun with Roald Dahl The Twits
On the 26th October storyteller Giles Abbott will be at the Museum of East Anglian Life telling tall tales and strange stories in the 13th century Abbot's Hall Barn. Visitors will get the chance to write and illustrate their own fantastic tales using the Museum collections for inspiration.
At The Big Read, Big Draw, in the BIG Barn on the 29th October you will hear the strange and twisted tale of Mr. and Mrs. Twit. who are two ugly, smelly, nasty, stupid people who spend their lives playing horrible tricks on each other. Â Find out how they get their just desserts with the help of the exotic Roly-Poly bird and the Muggle-wump family. . . . . Look out for the 10 copies of 'The Twits' that have been left around Stowmarket. Please take one, read it and then leave it somewhere for someone else to enjoy!
Artist Juliet Lockhart will be at the Museum to help create Twit Art from recycled materials; including jumping jack monkeys and bottle birds. At 3pm a Grand Finale, the Great Escape, will take place, Twit balloons with messages from everyone who comes along will be released.
