Storytime at The Oval Tavern

Every Saturday  1-3pm

 

What do we get up to?

Storytime is a friendly and relaxed session where children can choose which activities they want to take part in. There are stories, puppets, games and arts and crafts. We will often use props and characters the children make in the stories we tell. We have a different theme each week and lots of picture and board books. Please bring a story of your own to share if you like.

 

Time:

1-3pm every Saturday except during school summer holidays when we have abreak. To keep up to date with our activities please request to join the Storytime mailing list.
