'Community Tales' Storytelling and Craft: Chinese Mid-Autumn 'Moon' Festival, Sat 27 Sept

Join Play Mandarin for a gentle and creative storytelling session inspired by the Chinese Mid-Autumn 'Moon' Festival. A morning of tales, songs and lantern-making for children aged 3+.

  • Booking essential

This autumn, take part in a magical morning of stories and craft at Morden Hall Park. In the first of our new Community Tales series, cultural educators Play Mandarin will guide families through a joyful celebration of the Chinese Mid-Autumn 'Moon' Festival - a time for reunion, gratitude and moon-gazing.

Children and their grown-ups will hear traditional stories linked to the festival, enjoy playful songs and movement, and make their own simple moon lantern to take home.

These sessions explore stories from different cultures, celebrating Morden Hall Park as a place where all families can feel at home. Designed for early years and primary-aged children, the activities support creative play and shared connection to nature and community.

Suitable for children aged 3 and up. Children must be accompanied by one adult. Booking is essential.
