Meerkat Productions presents Dear Broccoli

Celebrate Book Week with a hilarious broccoli-filled adventure brought to life with song, dance, and playful storytelling.

Book cover is a green background with the words Dear Broccoli. There is an illustrated image of a sad child looking at her plate of broccoli.

Join us for Meerkat Production’s adaptation of Dear Broccoli, the hilariously popular picture book written by Jo Dabrowski and illustrated by Cate James.

Dear Broccoli follows a child’s increasingly inventive attempts to avoid eating broccoli through a series of funny letters packed with excuses, distractions and wild imagination. Full of humour and playful storytelling, the book has become a favourite with children and grown-ups alike.

Come along and enjoy this playful adaptation featuring song, dance, puppetry and plenty of fun.

Suitable for primary school-aged children. 
Free event. Bookings essential. 
Adults also require a ticket.
