​

Once Upon A Storytime

Nia loves stories about dragons and unicorns, brave princesses and faraway lands. Every night, Mum tucks her into bed, and they lose themselves in another wonderful adventure.

But what if, Nia asks, she gets kidnapped by a wicked witch? Or locked up by a terrible beast in a tower? Or stuck at the top of a beanstalk with a grouchy giant? Would Mum come and rescue her?

​

One More Day Until Pride

Join a group of friends preparing to celebrate Pride, learning about its positive messages and creating banners and costumes that reflect what they're passionate about. This is a beautiful, moving story that shows it's never too early to start celebrating love, acceptance and inclusion.

​

This Book is Full of Unicorns

Did you know that unicorns are real? They're all around us but our world's so busy we can hardly see them... But I bet you can spot them if you look closely enough!

​

Dive into the colourful pages of this picture book and see unicorns do the most fantastic and hilarious things. Spot them jumping on the rides at the funfair, sneaking around creepy castles and even zooming around in space!

 

​​Everyone attending needs a ticket.
