For over 15 years, Mr Dilly has sparked curiosity and ignited imaginations, enriching the learning of more than half a million primary school children across the UK. Whether in schools, national organisations, major festivals, or online, Mr Dilly’s dynamic storytelling, literacy events and history workshops turn the past into an unforgettable adventure.
Working with top children’s book publishers, celebrated authors, and educators, he has inspired creativity, encouraged a love of reading, and brought history to life through engaging, interactive experiences. His live performances, workshops, and online events are known for their energy, humour, and ability to captivate young minds—making history and literacy both accessible and exciting.
Organsisations Mr Dilly has worked with
This year has already launched with a feast of new "Mr Dilly Meets" events, connecting top children’s authors with schools across the UK and internationally—reaching audiences in Mexico City, Nigeria, Seattle, Norway, Gran Canaria, and more!
Mr Dilly is also proud once again to be working with the National Literacy Trust, bringing the National Champions Reading Quiz to schools across the UK. Plus, history takes centre stage in May with Mr Dilly’s VE Day 80 Special, available to both primary and secondary schools.
And there’s even more on the horizon… A brand-new history podcast for children is in production, and Mr Dilly has been invited to judge this year’s Week Junior Book Awards. With even more exciting events and collaborations to come, 2025 is set to be a landmark year!
