Author Visits & Creative Workshops
Our founder, Vese, and author of our award-winning book Who Do I See in the Mirror? is available for exciting, engaging and interactive author visits and creative workshops.
Our author visits positively impact the students' confidence and help promote an inclusive culture within the school environment. They are perfect as standalone sessions or as part of themed weeks such as Diversity Week, English Week, Storytelling Week, Black History Month, World Book Day and more. The visits have been well-received by students across England.
“Vese visited our school during our English Week. Our theme for the week was diversity and the importance of celebrating our differences. Vese inspired our Pre-Prep children by sharing her fabulous book. She then did some creative and interactive workshops with the children to further explore the importance of diversity and uniqueness. We loved working with Vese, she was a great visitor and we thoroughly enjoyed welcoming her to our school.”
- Beth Ashton, Head of Pre-Prep at Holmwood School

Special Events & Workshops
Our in-person events have been incredibly well-received. For example, a recent partnership with Lone Design Club sold out with maximum attendance, and their team shared:
"That’s one of the best events we’ve ever had! Philly & Friends connects beautifully with their community and knows how to deliver meaningful, impactful events."
We tailor each session to suit your event whether is an event launch, birthday party, bring your kids to work event or more, we will work with you to create the perfect kids creative event centred around confidence, identity and inclusion. Interested?
The author, Vese, came to our school for a 'Who do I see in the mirror' workshop. The children all enjoyed the fun experience which also focused on encouraging good values.
The administration team were helpful and prompt to answer all queries. We would definitely recommend Philly and Friends.
