With the help of some of Santa’s elves, we’ve put together a
selection of festive events to get you and your little ones into the Christmas
spirit.
What better way to get into the spirit of all that is
Christmas than to enjoy story-time with Santa himself? There will be two
sessions during the day, one at 11:30am and one at 4:00pm. This magical event
is perfect for children aged two and above.
This is a wish list workshop with a difference! Bring the
kids into Foyles, in Birmingham, and let their imagination run wild as they
search the shelves high and low for the perfect book to add to their gift list.
The children will be invited to note their selections down on a letter to Santa
Claus and will be able to post them in a special North Pole post box. This
event is fun for kids of all ages.
The Best of Times is an uplifting Christmas story by
much-loved children’s author, Michael Morpurgo. In this special event it has
been adapted for concert performance and features music, as well as a solo
dancer who will perform the role of the Princess throughout. This is not an
event to be missed so add that extra bit of magic to Christmas this year and
treat the kids to this very special concert with Michael Morpurgo. This event
is great for children aged five and above.
What better way to spend a Saturday morning in December than
at your local library, enjoying some festive activities? There will be Christmas
stories, face-painting, games, refreshments and you can even come along in
fancy dress (optional)! This is the perfect way to encourage your children to
get into the Christmas spirit as well as supporting your local library. Children
aged five and above are all welcome.
Nicholas Allan is the author and illustrator of over 30
children’s books including The Queens Knickers, Jesus' Christmas Party ,
Cinderella’s Bum and Father Christmas Needs a Wee. Join him for a brilliant
Christmas event that will be packed with humour and family fun. There is no
better way to keep that festive feeling going than with an event that all of
the family can enjoy together.
There you have it, some fabulous Children’s events that are
perfect for fueling that festive spirit. From all of us at BookGig we hope you
have a very Merry Christmas and that you receive all of the books that you wish
for. If you do go to any of our events please tweet us at @BookGig and let us
