Storytellers will amaze you, make you giggle and provide a morning of fun for under 5s.

Join us every Tuesday for storytelling fun with stories read by local children’s authors or our friendly volunteers.

Meet in the Café Bar at 10.30am and follow us to our storytelling space where you’ll listen to stories from beautiful books by local authors or carefully selected from Arnolfini Shop.

The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson, read by Jay Osborne

 Join a small sea snail and a great big humpback whale as the unlikely pair descend on a magical adventure, battle against the elements and meet new creatures of the sea. The sea snail maybe small but her bravery overcomes all.

This interactive narration is created to stimulate children to think, feel and explore every aspect of the story.

So… climb aboard the tail of a humpback wale and embark on a journey around the world.

 Most suitable for ages 2-4 years.
