Meet the Gruffalo!

Kibworth Books, The Children's Room at Barn 11am - 11.45

The Gruffalo is coming to visit and we couldn't be more excited! 

Join us here in the bookshop for a meet and greet with the Gruffalo, in celebration of the publication of Gruffalo Granny. 

Children will have the opportunity to meet the Gruffalo and take photos, plus we'll enjoy some Gruffalo stories and creative activities. 

If you'd like to order a copy of Gruffalo Granny to collect on the day, you can do so here: Gruffalo Granny.

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'll 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.
