Hetty Feather Day: Talk & Book Signing

11 April 2026
11am
£10

Join us for this special children's event with the creator of Hetty Feather, Dame Jacqueline Wilson.

We’re excited to welcome back acclaimed author and Foundling Fellow, Dame Jacqueline Wilson, for our annual celebration of her beloved Hetty Feather series. Hetty, the spirited Victorian foundling, has been a favourite with young readers since the first book was published in 2009.

Join Dame Jacqueline as she reads excerpts from the series, and don’t forget to bring your favourite Hetty Feather book with you, as she will be signing copies after the talk! Your ticket also includes a drop-in creative workshop and free entry to the Museum so you can explore the history of the Foundling Hospital that inspired Dame Jacqueline.

Tickets are available for purchase online only. Be sure to book in advance as spots are limited and expected to sell out quickly. This event is suitable for children aged 7 and up.
