Everyone seems to believe that Humphrey Podmore is a British champion runner at the Olympic Games, including a beautiful Russian spy and a fearsoe woman trainer. But when the real champion turns up, he is locked in a cellar by a punter who has placed a bet that Humphrey will represent England. Can Humphrey do his country proud and walk away with the race?

An afternoon of fun and creativity, with lots of painting, craft, stories and singing.

Everyone welcome, just come along with the little ones and join the fun.
