The Big Translate

A workshop to celebrate children’s talents as translators – even from languages they don’t know!

Sixty local schoolchildren translate into English ten strikingly illustrated books from around the world. They’ll become code-cracking language detectives, learning how languages and literature in translation can enrich our lives.

Come and see the outcome of their work and hear from award-winning translator Sarah Ardizzone, teacher Sam Holmes and Robina Pelham Burn, Director of the Stephen Spender Trust.

Supported by public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England and by the European Commission.
