Early Years Storytime Group

Every Friday in March, meet other parents and caregivers and the Our Past, Your Future team at Woodhorn Museum.

Each week we will read a story together, then run a short hands-on activity suitable for preschool children.

There will also be extra toys and books suitable for preschool children out for you to stay and play on the upper floor of the cutter building and in the café after the session if you wish.

This activity is included within your Annual Pass admission, no need to pre-book.
