Ross Crawford 7th Mar, 2020   0

THE Kingfisher Shopping Centre has teamed up with World Book Day organisers to bring stories to life this week.

Starting on World Book Day – Thursday, March 5 and running until Sunday, March 8, the event space in Milward Square opposite The Range, will be transformed into a cosy reading corner with a storyteller spot, as well as beanbags for reading and a giant open book for photo opportunities.

From Thursday to Saturday, there will be fun and entertaining storytelling sessions with colouring in competitions, a character fancy dress on Saturday, plus meet and greet sessions with Charlie the Kingfisher mascot.

There will also be a quiet reading hour on the Saturday from 10.30am until 11.30am.




The following day, Sunday, there will be a space where children can pick up a book to read or colour in.

There will also be a book donation station from Thursday, March 5 for two weeks at Guest Services, where shoppers can donate unwanted books to be re-used in an upcoming reading project.
