Events

Thinking about World Book Day, or wondering if I'm available for a school visit?

Great — I'd love to hear from you.

Typically I do half, or full day visits. My events involve live drawing and reading, plus mischief. They can be educational, or pure fun, depending on requirements.

New this year — virtual, online visits — beamed into your classroom!

I've performed at South Ken Kids Festival, Cheltenham Book Festival, Stroud Book Festival, The Children's Bookshow and Edinburgh Literary Festival, and La Citta dei Lettori in Florence, Festival Passa la parola in Modena, Salone de Libro in Turin.

Testimonials from schools:

"The children absolutely adored it – you are brilliant!" Hazlegrove Prep, Somerset

"We were lucky to have Sam Usher lead a drawing workshop for our World Book Day celebrations, and it was a brilliant experience! Sam's passion for storytelling and illustration truly shone through as he guided a range of ages and abilities through the drawing process. He was so engaging and supportive! It was a gift to be able to see the children create something they were so proud of all thanks to Sam!" Hambridge School, Somerset

"You were a star!" Somerset Literacy Network
