Chatterbooks Reading Group for 7–11s

Ignite your child's imagination and supercharge their love for reading with a high-energy afternoon of stories, challenges, and fun!

Join us at the spectacular Canada Water Library for a fast-paced, extra-special festival session of the Chatterbooks Reading Group. Perfectly timed for an after-school burst of creativity, this club is custom-built to show kids aged 7 to 11 just how exciting books can be.

This isn't a quiet, serious classroom session—it is an interactive, lively hour packed with:

• 🗣️ Fun, open discussions about cool books and favorite characters.
• 🎮 Interactive book-themed games and playful challenges.
• 🎨 Creative activities designed to get young minds thinking and inventing.

Whether your child is an absolute bookworm who reads under the covers with a torch, or a reluctant reader who needs a bit of inspiration to find the right book, Chatterbooks offers a warm, welcoming, and highly supportive space to make reading fun.

This event is completely free to attend as part of the final day of the Bermondsey & Beyond Literary Festival 2026. Places are limited to make sure every child can join in the games, so secure your child's free ticket today!
