A big, bold and delectable surprise awaits children and their families in a brilliant, interactive installation celebrating the language of food. Pick yourself a handful of words and tuck in. You could make yourself a revolting recipe, a scrummy shopping list or cook up a delightful poem. We’re serving up nibbles, small plates, and feasting for all ages and abilities, so don’t be shy! 

Take part in drop-in, interactive workshops and activities to create truly delicious poems and stories celebrating our shared and diverse language of food. Discover the names of both real and imaginary foods, encounter ludicrous words you’d never expect in a cookbook, find descriptive words to engage the senses, and together cook up a literary storm! Be part of an evolving art installation for all the family, created by A Line Art.
