Event Description

Arty Bookworms is a series of 8 weekly sessions for children under 5 years. They offer an excellent way to support early literacy, creativity, and social engagement, underpinned by the Early Years framework. Each session includes themed story reading, a craft activity based on the story, and an opportunity to borrow a copy of the book for the week to enjoy at home. Children can immerse themselves in different themes, returning each week for a new story and craft activity.

Sign up for each of the 8 free sessions that you wish to attend, running from Monday 16 March to Monday 18 of May. 
There are some dates excluded due to bank holidays, please see the listed sessions to see which dates are excluded.
