Kick off the day with a live show from Luna Loves Gardening creators Joseph Coelho OBE (our new Patron!) and Fiona Lumbers – including storytelling, live illustration, and behind-the-scenes book magic.
Then join award-winning author & illustrator Emma Reynolds for a bat-tastic workshop with a storytime, fun bat facts, plushies and a draw-along!
Plus, get your books signed, and enjoy drop-in creative workshops themed around gardens, wildlife, and green spaces.
Perfect for families who love stories, nature, and libraries – see you there!
