Britain's What's On Event Guide
Community tales Storytelling for kids (3-6yrs) 7, 14, 21, 28 October
Morden Hall Park is a green open space in the middle of a busy city where different communities and cultures share the love for nature and outdoors. This Autumn, through a series of storytelling events we celebrate the cultural diversity at the park doorstep. Different communities have been invited to share their own tales, cultures, myths, legends and connection to the world around us for creating mornings of fun and cultural inspiration for under 6 years old.
The storytelling sessions will explore nature-themed books, and children will have fun while learning about outdoors and environment in the spirit of one big community sharing space, time and stories together.
