A launch event for a new children’s book will be 'a day of family fun' on the Norfolk Broads this weekend.
Laura Calver, owner of Buoyancy Bikes in Wroxham, is putting on the event to launch her new book called Sparkle ElStripes of Buoyancy Bikes Goes Swimming with Her Friends on Saturday (May 27), from 10am to 4pm.
The day promises discounted buoyancy bike and pedalo rides, free games for children, as well as food and drink – including popcorn, candy floss, milkshakes and nachos.
The rhyming children’s book was inspired by Ms Calver’s daughter, Lottie, and the stories she would make up while spending time at the Broads.
“I’m so proud to be launching the book – I never thought it would happen,” Ms Calver said.
“The book is all about a swan who goes on an adventure along the river, collecting her swan friends from other local businesses as she goes.”
The book features 12 local businesses on the Broads – from the Wroxham Marina to Ranworth.
There will also be a balloon display, sweets, stickers and books available to purchase for £7.99 on the day.
