Quiet Session
On 6, 14 and 15 December at 4.45pm we will be offering quieter sessions of our Storytime with Father Christmas event, which will deliver the same magical experience in a more relaxed environment. Fewer tickets are available so we're able to offer more support to individual children, and background music and lighting levels will be reduced.
