Join us for a screening of four special episodes of Nikhil & Jay, chosen by our co-founder, author and storyteller extraordinaire Chitra Soundar and a pre-screening activity led by SAILFest illustrator Rikin Parekh.

Drop into the Cinema Café from 9:45am to join illustrator Rikin Parekh in a family-led workshop that will get your imaginations swooping and diving. 

Afterwards, Chitra Soundar, the creator of Nikhil & Jay will introduce her four favourite stories from her hit TV show, Nikhil & Jay, in The Barbican cinema to get us all thinking about the characters and their family. 

Don't miss your chance to come and see Chitra in the foyer and pick up one of her books from the SAILFest pop up shop, run by The Children's Bookshop! There will be an opportunity for signing and chatting.
