World Book Day at Coleton Fishacre

Drop in to the house for storytelling sessions in the Library, in collaboration with the charity World Book Day.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

To celebrate World Book Day, we're hosting storytelling sessions in the Library for readers big and small.

We'll be sharing poems and short stories written in the 1920s and 1930s, and for little one's there'll be adventurous tales from children’s books of the era waiting to be explored. Feel free to come dressed as your favourite character.

The sessions are 30 minutes long, and will run on the hour between 12pm and 4pm.

While you're here, why not stop by the second-hand bookshop on Seemly Terrace? There's a whole host of pre-loved books just waiting to be discovered.

World Book Day is a charity committed to changing lives through a love of books and reading.
