The Foundling Musuem are 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.
