Both series are in development to become major TV series. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/sydney/set-sail-for-pirate-academy-a-workshop-with-justin-somper/100002002403417525 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops, trips-adventures, Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: State Library of New South Wales - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 10, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Sydney - **state**: NS - **country**: Australia - **location**: State Library of New South Wales - **lat**: -33.8664963 - **long**: 151.2130501 - **full address**: State Library of New South Wales, 1 Shakespeare place, Sydney, Australia ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Set sail for Pirate Academy: A workshop with Justin Somper - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/0c8c33d77350037ddc3a4119a6ffd4a75f1ccef37819c7f37a446fe4b11a2c58-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1790876972 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Set sail for Pirate Academy: A workshop with Justin Somper being held? - **A:** Set sail for Pirate Academy: A workshop with Justin Somper takes place on Sun, 15 Nov, 2026 at 10:30 am to Sun, 15 Nov, 2026 at 11:30 am at State Library of New South Wales, 1 Shakespeare place, Sydney, Australia. - **Q**: Who is organizing Set sail for Pirate Academy: A workshop with Justin Somper? - **A:** Set sail for Pirate Academy: A workshop with Justin Somper is organized by State Library of New South Wales, Learning Services. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
