Ada has been doodling since she was five and always knew she wanted to be an illustrator. She has drawn everything from babies to queens, dinosaurs to unicorns and lots and lots of poo!

Experience a unique children's illustration exhibition like no other this summer at Nunnington Hall. Dive into a world where the hilarity of 'poo' takes centre stage in many captivating stories.

Ada Grey, is a skilled illustrator renowned for her engaging and visually delightful children's tales, always adds a comical twist to her creations. Among her notable works are picture books such as ‘Poo in the Zoo,’ ‘Great Poo Mystery,’ ‘Island of Dinosaur Poo,’ and ‘Super Pooper Road Race.’

For the first time, this exhibition showcases illustrations of some of Ada's most beloved characters, including Bob McGrew and Hector Gloop, while also featuring iconic moments from her favourite stories.

Children visiting the exhibition will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Ada's books, drawing inspiration to create their own characters. They can then proudly display their creations in the ‘Poop-a-Doodle’ gallery for all to enjoy. It's a chance for young imaginations to soar and for families to share in the joy of storytelling and creativity.
