When we wrote about Errol’s Garden being nominated for Children’s Audiobook of the Year at the 2026 Week Junior Book Awards, we talked about how extraordinary it felt to see a project that began around a café table travel so far.
We certainly didn’t expect to have another exciting announcement so soon.
Errol’s Garden has also been nominated for a British Podcast Award!
This feels particularly special because of the journey the story has taken. What began as a picture book became a stage musical, survived the challenges of the pandemic and then found a new life through audio.
A peek into our process
Creating Errol’s Garden as an audiobook allowed us to explore the story in a completely different way, using voices, music and sound to bring Errol’s rooftop garden to life through the listener’s imagination.
To now be recognised by the British Podcast Awards is a wonderful reminder of how many different ways stories can reach children and families.
We’re incredibly proud of everyone who has helped Errol’s Garden grow — our creative team, performers, partners, funders, and most importantly, the audiences who have embraced Errol’s story.
And Errol’s garden is still growing…
Did you know: we recorded Errol’s Garden music and spoken word separately (songs at Auburn Jam Studios, narration at Small Wardour).
The tracks use a combination of live musicans and virtual instruments.
