Book and a Biscuit with Clare Fennell
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 joined by the wonderful author/illustrator Clare Fennell who will be leading us in a joyous storytime and reading to us from her latest book, Ten on the Bus.
Clare will be happy to sign copies of her book purchased at Kibworth Books.

PREORDER THE BOOK
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. 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 5 plus any baby / toddler siblings.
Children will be seated on stools, with a limited supply of cushions available. Parents will be requested to stand and watch if possible.
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.
