# Event Details - **Event Name**: A Wordy Workshop with Penny Boxall, at Heffers Bookshop - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 27 Aug, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Thu, 27 Aug, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join children's writer Penny Boxall for a workshop tying in with her new book, Letty and the Mystery of the Word Thieves.About this EventWhat do the words ADDLEPATED, JIGGUMBOB and SLUBBERDEGULLION have in common? Not only are they fun to say, they’re also all defined in one of the world’s most famous books: Dr Johnson’s Dictionary, published in the 1700s. To tie in with the publication of Penny Boxall’s new novel, Letty and the Mystery of the Word Thieves — in which 12-year-old Lettice Breech must solve the riddle of a mysterious dictionary to save her home — Penny will be leading a dictionary-inspired creative workshop. We’ll make up words, come up with definitions of our own, and contemplate some of the many meanings of the letter X — which might not always mark the spot.Penny Boxall is an award-winning poet and children's writer. Her first novel for children, Letty and the Mystery of the Golden Thread, was Blackwell's Book of the Month, longlisted for the Branford Boase Award, and shortlisted for the East Sussex Children's Book Award.3pm, Thursday 27th August. This free workshop is aimed at children aged 8-12 years (accompanied by an adult), but all are welcome. Books will be available for sale and signing after the event. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cambridge/a-wordy-workshop-with-penny-boxall-at-heffers-bookshop/100001993466449814 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Heffers Bookshop - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Cambridge - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Heffers Bookshop - **lat**: 52.20702619999999 - **long**: 0.1183141 - **full address**: Heffers Bookshop, 20 Trinity Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: A Wordy Workshop with Penny Boxall, at Heffers Bookshop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/670fa4e57509dcf04bc0c08a0cf06f8bb92a8b942ff8c5a409fe9d72cfa60d38-rimg-w1200-h600-dc082868-gmir.jpg?v=1786601824 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is A Wordy Workshop with Penny Boxall, at Heffers Bookshop being held? - **A:** A Wordy Workshop with Penny Boxall, at Heffers Bookshop takes place on Thu, 27 Aug, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Thu, 27 Aug, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Heffers Bookshop, 20 Trinity Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing A Wordy Workshop with Penny Boxall, at Heffers Bookshop? - **A:** A Wordy Workshop with Penny Boxall, at Heffers Bookshop is organized by Heffers Bookshop. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
