What’s better than a day at the beach with a good book for company? How about one that’s only a tube trip away?

Hopefully it’ll be held in Altab Ali Park, just across the road from the gallery, but if the weather’s miserable, the ‘beach’ will be relocated to their creative studio.
Everything’s literary themed for an extra bit of fun, but don’t worry, there’s no need to book.
