Romancing the Gothic is running a charity event to support Magic Breakfast, which provides school breakfasts for children who need them. The event is a day of online classes and workshops with academics, experts and writers. You can come in and out as often or as infrequently as you like through the day.

You can choose your ticket price at £5, £10 or £20 for the day. At Magic Breakfast £5 buys a month of breakfasts and support for one child. £14 can give 50 children breakfast for a day. £42 can get a whole class breakfast for a week! The programme is as follows and will be updated to as the final classes are confirmed. Sessions will be recorded and sent out so you won't miss anything whatever time zone you're in! You can join us from anywhere in the world.
