An evening with Oliver Jeffers

Monday 26th October 2026, 7pm

The Planetarium @ We The Curious, 1 Millennium Square, Anchor Rd, Bristol, BS1 5DB (click here for a map)

We are thrilled to welcome Oliver Jeffers back to Bristol for a very special in-conversation event, and we’ve gone and hired an actual Planetarium for the occasion!

This will be a fascinating, career-spanning chat that takes you right into the world of one of our most beloved creatives. Fine artist, storyteller, children’s book creator, international force for good and ghost expert: we are so excited to have Oliver back with us, and anyone who was with us back in 2023 at the RWA will know that we’re in for a mind-expanding time.
