Hunt for bookworms

We’ve got 10 little bookworms hiding in our books, and we need you to help us find them. Pick up a work sheet from Visitor Reception and start searching, and when you have found them all you could even design your own bookworm.

Lots of books to choose from

On World Book Day, £1 book vouchers will be handed out at schools and nurseries which you can exchange at our gift shop for a new story. We’ve got stories about Lego, mermaids, Percy Jackson and much more to suit everyone.

Book Characters

Why not get really involved with World Book Day and dress up as your favourite character – we would love to see your costumes!
