World Book Day Storytelling Sessions

In collaboration with the charity World Book Day, we're celebrating the joy of reading with pop-in storytelling sessions in our Pop-Up Bookshop!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Throughout the day there's an opportunity to hear stories from our volunteer team in the second-hand bookshop in the Old Coach House between 10am-12pm and 2-4pm.

Come as your favourite book character for a chance to win a prize.

Whilst you're in the bookshop there's a chance to pick up a bargain from our huge selection of children's books.

World Book Day encourages more children and families to find the fun and enjoyment in reading, because reading for pleasure changes lives.
