We’d love to see your little ones (and grown-ups too!) dressed as their favourite book characters.
Event Details:
Our World Book Day celebration is FREE, but we ask families to book a performance time slot. These time slots last around 40 minutes then you are free to enjoy the arts and crafts as well as read a book or two in our Ground Floor Kitchen & Bar.
