Summer of Play: Fantasy Fridays

Join us every Friday this summer for a journey into the world of stories and creativity.

We invite children to let their imaginations run wild this summer. Come along with family and friends and start your adventure by crafting your very own colourful paper windmill to take home. Then, settle down in our cosy storytelling tent, where one of our friendly volunteers will bring enchanting tales to life.

Drop-in workshops from 11am-2pm. No booking needed.
