Worlds Worst Stories Ever 

A celebration in David Walliams style - we are going to have a lot of awfully stinky fun! Come dressed up as your favourite David Walliams character and watch out for the 'Blunders' as there will be many given they are the Worlds Worst Stories EVER!  Awful Aunty has supplied the refreshments served with lots of 'fings' including slime.
