The Potion of Doom with Jack Meggitt-Phillips

About the event

In 1886, Dr Jekyll drank a potion that created a super-powered monster named Mr Hyde. In 2026, a spoiled, cunning boy named Henrik Jekyll rediscovers the potion, and accidentally unleashes a brand new Hyde who will change his life forever...

Welcome to the laboratory of Jack Meggitt-Phillips – a laugh out loud, carnival of chaos, where young readers will be given the skills they need to create their own monstrously funny stories. In this highly interactive event, Jack will introduce his new middle-grade series, Jekyll vs Hyde: The Potion of Doom, while giving a whistle-stop history of the Victorian London that inspired the spine-chilling classic. Jack's events are hilariously funny and full of energy.
