Katie Kirby: Lottie Brooks’s Diary

If you have kids who are currently obsessed with the Lottie Brooks series, or if you are just looking for something different to do on a Sunday morning, there is an event coming up at the Brighton Dome that might be on your radar. On May 10, 2026, the venue is hosting an event with author and illustrator Katie Kirby. She is the creator behind the Lottie Brooks diary series, which has gained a fair amount of traction for its take on the ups and downs of growing up.

The session is scheduled for 11:00 and focuses on the themes that run through the books: navigating first experiences, friendship issues, and those awkward moments that seem to define the middle school years. Given that the series is known for its humour, the event is structured as a talk or presentation where Kirby discusses the character and the writing process. It is a straightforward setup, aimed at families who are already familiar with Lottie’s world or perhaps looking for a new series to get into.

Regarding the logistics, the event takes place at the Brighton Dome on Church Street. Tickets are currently priced at £10.00, though it is worth keeping in mind that these prices can fluctuate, so checking the official Brighton Dome website before you plan your day is a good idea. It is a relatively contained event, lasting for a morning slot, which makes it fairly easy to fit into a weekend schedule without taking up the entire day. If you are planning to attend, the venue’s website is the place to go for availability and booking.
