DAVID WALLIAMS’ AMAAAAAZING ASSEMBLY FOR WORLD BOOK DAY!

On 2nd March, David Walliams hosted a very special and FREE schools event to celebrate World Book Day 2021! 

David Walliams was in conversation with Blue Peter presenter Lindsey Russell for an AMAAAAAZING ASSEMBLY for World Book Day! Beamed directly into classrooms and living rooms around the country (both physical and virtual), EVERYONE was welcome to join in with this FREE event! It was held at 10:30am, with a catch-up screening at 4pm, so that as many people could join in as possible.

The event was a HUGE success, with thousands of people tuning in from across the country! In fact, the number of people that tuned in would have filled the seated area of Wembley Stadium – FIVE TIMES OVER!
