What it is

After creating your own shadow puppets, there will be a chance for everyone to re-tell the story together using their puppets. You can expect a cast of woodland animals and magical beings!

An opportunity for families to craft together. Children 12 and under must always be supervised by an adult while in the Library.

Led by artist Tessa Asquith-Lamb and storyteller Anne Hunter.
