All About Sir Lenny Henry For World Book Day Ceremony In Bradford

Lenny Henry

Next month, Sir Lenny Henry will entertain students in Bradford as part of World Book Day. The Bradford Literature Festival has organized the event for the city’s school children (BLF).

It is their first event of 2023, preceding the ten-day festival beginning on 24 June.

On March 2 at the Alhambra Theatre, the comedian and author will be joined by picture book author and illustrator Sophy Henn.

Sir Lenny Henry is best known as a comedian and co-founder of Comic Relief. He is also an advocate for television diversity and the author of two young adult fantasies.

When asked why he wanted to write for children, he responded,

“Children of all ages need to recognize themselves in the stories they adore.”

Jacob Mitchell, often known as “MC Grammar,” will rap on linguistics at the Bradford event, while BLF’s story master Gav Cross will bring stories to life for pupils.

BLF is one of the largest literature festivals in the north, and in December 2022, the Arts Council awarded it financing of nearly £1 million each year until 2026.

In addition, it operates an ethical ticketing policy, which will be implemented for the Alhambra event, and will provide free or discounted tickets to individuals who would otherwise be unable to attend.
