Event Description
Join us at your local library to take part in a very special live-streamed celebration for BBC Children in Need Appeal Day!
Broadcast live from the British Library, this exciting event will bring the magic of storytelling straight to your library, as part of the National Year of Reading. Children will be able to enjoy a storybook read by their favourite CBeebies presenters, followed by a fun-filled dance party with iconic characters, all shared live on screen with libraries across the country.
So…get ready to rave CBeebies style as it’s NOT time for bed, it's time to PARTY!
