Set sail with us as we welcome Emma Swan for a fun, interactive event!
About this Event

Jump on board with Cruise Ship Kid!


Emma Swan is a West End Actress who frequently stars in the Horrible Histories stage shows. She spent her childhood living on cruise ships. Her parents worked onboard and like Silver, the star of her book Cruise Ship Kid, she was ‘ship-schooled,’ while travelling the globe.


In this special event, Emma will reveal what life was like at sea and how it felt to be a mini crew member, in her cabin, at the bottom of the ship. There will be fun quizzes, drama games and maybe a couple of interruptions from Silver herself! It’s shore to be a good time!

Suitable for children 7+ and their families!
This event is part of Waterstones Nottingham Children’s Gala which is taking place from Saturday 28th March to Sunday 5th April. Why not check out the rest of our events?


Did you know that 2026 is the National Year of Reading? A Department for Education initiative, in collaboration with The National Literacy Trust, the campaign aims to tackle the profound decline in reading enjoyment in the UK and reconnect people of all ages with reading as a relevant and immediately rewarding activity. Our children’s gala is one of the ways in which we are helping to encourage a love of reading! Find out more at National Year of Reading 2026 | National Literacy Trust
