Storytelling session at Coleton Fishacre

Stop by the house for a cosy storytelling corner.

  • Booking not needed

Complete with blankets, cushions and story books, you can sit and read together or stay for a storytelling session with one of our volunteers, as they explore tales and poems from children’s books written in the 1920s and 1930s.

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