Join author and CBeebies star George Webster for a fun-filled family event celebrating stories, confidence and the joy of being yourself.

Award-winning TV presenter, actor, author and Mencap Ambassador George Webster joins us for a joyful and inspiring family event celebrating stories, confidence and the power of being yourself.

George first captured the nation's attention with his acclaimed BBC Bitesize film challenging misconceptions about Down syndrome before becoming the first presenter with Down syndrome on CBeebies. Since then, he has become one of the UK's most recognisable children's television personalities, winning a BAFTA for Best Presenter and delighting audiences with his warmth, humour and infectious enthusiasm. He also won hearts across the country when he appeared on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special alongside professional dancer Amy Dowden.

In this special event, George will share stories from his remarkable career, from life in front of the camera to becoming a published author. He'll talk about the inspiration behind his books, including the picture books This Is Me! and Why Not?, and his chapter book series George and the Mini Dragon, which encourage young readers to embrace their individuality, celebrate differences and believe in themselves.

Expect laughter, storytelling, audience interaction and plenty of opportunities to hear George's uplifting message about confidence, inclusion and following your dreams. Perfect for families, young readers and fans of all ages, this is a chance to meet one of children's television's most inspiring voices.

George lives in Leeds, making this a wonderful opportunity for local audiences to welcome him to Morley Literature Festival for what promises to be a memorable and uplifting event.
