Book and a Biscuit - The Fairy & Fae Alternative Halloween Edition
Kibworth Books, The Children's Room at Barn 11am - 12 noon
Welcome to Book and a Biscuit - our storytime session for children.
Join us here in the Children's Room for an interactive story time, creative activity and - yes, you guessed it - biscuits!
This session we're celebrating Halloween! But as spooks and jump scares aren't for everyone, join us for an alternative, gentler storytime session. Our very own Aidan - bookseller, writer and resident storyteller, will be delighting children with a story (or two!), followed by a fun fairy inspired creative activity.
Fairy & fae themed costumes are very welcome though not essential. Think fairies, witches, wizards and woodland sprites... as creative as you like!
About Aidan:
Aidan hails from Austin, Texas and is a current student in the Creative Writing MA at the University of Leicester, specialising in young adult fiction. She loves to read, write, and watch pretty much anything in the fantasy genre. She's currently working on finishing her first book and loves to share stories and book recommendations.
Need to Know Info:
Please note that there is a £2 ticket charge per child to attend this event which is redeemable against a book purchase on the day. This is to let us know who's joining us on the day and to avoid any disappointment should spaces sell out.
This event will take place in the Children's room at The Barn. We have limited space for buggies and scooters etc outside, weather permitting. Regrettably we do not have dedicated inside space for buggy storage but we will do our best to accommodate everyone.
The storytime will be ideal for children of pre-school age up to age 7 plus any baby / toddler siblings and home-ed families.
Children will be seated on the floor, with a limited supply of cushions available. We're provide stools for parents to perch.
A short creative activity may be offered for children who wish to participate.
Please note we do not have a customer toilet available. We'd recommend encouraging toilet trips beforehand if possible (though we do appreciate children can be unpredictable in this regard!).
Photos may be taken during the event for social media purposes. Please rest assured that backs of heads only will be photographed unless explicit permission has been given by the accompanying adult. If you would prefer for your child not to be in any photos do just let us know and we will be sure to honour this.
