Big Malarkey Big Fun

Hull Makerspace Marble run was a big win

The Big Marlarkey is a Hull special. It’s a literary event for kids aged 0 -16 . Having acquired the entry requirements (three tickets and an 8 year old) we went along today. They had children’s authors, poo presentations, lots and lots of making, book hook a duck, music, VR, museum stuff and a chap selling crepes. Which were wonderful.

They also had Makerspace Hull there to who brought golf tee art, fun with circuits, MicroBit coding and a marble run whiteboard which was splendid. Much fun ensued, although things were slightly derailed when one of the party lost their Lilo and Stitch keyring. But, on enquiring at the organizer’s tent, we discovered that someone had found the item and handed it in. We’ve no idea who did this kind act, but we are eternally grateful to them. They transformed the event from “The one where I lost my keychain” to “The one where I had a great time and saw an amazing presentation from the author of “The Houdini Inheritance” (which I also got a signed copy of)”.

The event was super busy, the weather was great and I think there is a very good chance we will be along again next year.
