Event Description

Join us for a magical 5-week adventure designed especially for children aged 2-5 years!

Each week Story Explorers will dive into the world of books with exciting stories, creative crafts and catchy songs that will have your child singing and laughing all day long. Plus, we’ll send you home with a special take-home pack to keep the fun going!

It’s the perfect way to spark your child’s imagination, build new skills and enjoy some quality family fun.

When parents engage with their child’s reading journey, the benefits multiply. Reading together strengthens the parent-child bond, creating special moments of connection and shared joy. Parents can support their child's learning by asking questions, discussing the story and exploring ideas together, which encourages critical thinking and language skills. This engagement also shows children that reading is enjoyable and valuable, setting them on a lifelong path of curiosity and learning.

Book your place today and let the adventure begin!
