The closing day of the children’s festival will take place on ‘Superhero Sunday’, 24 October. It starts with a workshop hosted by Carol from Puppets Plays and Storydays and children are invited to bring unwanted newspapers from home and recycle them into a puppet to take home.
This is followed by the very talented Bill Booth, who is running a superhero drawing workshop, and the festival finishes with ‘Sleepy Tales for Superheroes’ hosted by library super-storytellers, Gillian and Angela.
Councillor Mike Medini, portfolio holder for cultural and leisure assets, said: “This a fantastic programme of events for children, and it is very exciting that we are able to hold live events again this year. I am very pleased to see these events taking place in many different locations, and I know they will prove hugely popular!”
