BBC Radio 1 Breakfast show host Greg James will launch his new children's book at Dreamland.
The presenter will star along with co-author Chris Smith at the Margate theme park on Monday.
The pair's latest book is called the The Great Dream Robbery, which features a hospital heist, some banana-loving llamas and a talking cat called Bin Bag.
Those attending Monday's event will be the first to see and hear about the book, as well as getting a signed copy weeks ahead of its publication, planned for next month.
Tweeting about the event, Greg said: "Specific summer holiday day trip idea but…We’re going to be at @DreamlandMarg on Bank Holiday Monday and we’ll be doing a live show and selling the first copies of our new book 2 weeks before it’s even out. Which is fun."
He then encouraged people to "come to Margate".
Chris added: "Just a reminder that if you're going to be around Margate on the Bank Holiday, this is the very first time our new book will be available.
"Plus we'll be doing live readings, making up a story with the help of the audience and generally capering about. Fun! Candy Floss! Literacy!"
Before writing books together, Greg and Chris worked on BBC Radio 1, Greg as host, and Chris as a news reader.
Together they have also written the Kid Normal book series and presented the That's What He Said podcast.
Greg is already a fan of other tourist attractions in Kent, having honeymooned at Port Lympne wild animal park in 2018 with author wife Bella Mackie.
The book launch is from 3pm-4pm on Monday.
