Event Description

Come along to our free Storytime and workshop to celebrate Refugee Week and the brilliant work of RAMA (Refugee, Asylum Seeker & Migrant Action) with Storytime and a practical workshop for little ones and their parents.

The Mercury Theatre was awarded theatre of sanctuary in 2023 along with libraries across Essex being awarded this status this year.
Sanctuary status highlights the work done in organisations to provide support, dignity and welcome to refugees and people seeking sanctuary.
The Mercury Theatre and RAMA will be touring local libraries (Colchester, Harlow and Clacton) with free Storytime workshops for children aged 5+ and their families.
We hope to see you there!
