Parents/Carers Book Group - Hesters Way
About this Event
Parents & Carers Book Group (Ages 3–6)
This friendly group offers a relaxed space for parents, carers and children to explore children's books, share ideas and enjoy discovering new stories together. Focusing on books for children aged 3 to 6, the sessions provide an opportunity for families to spend time together, develop a love of reading and connect with other local families.
Cheltenham Festivals will be leading the sessions throughout the year, creating a welcoming environment where families can enjoy stories, explore new books and discover creative ways to make reading fun and engaging at home. Each month, participating families will receive a free children's book to take home, along with simple, optional activities that can help bring stories to life in everyday family routines.
Everyone is welcome, whether reading is already a big part of family life or you are simply looking for new ideas. There is no assessment, no expectations and no required background, just an open, informal space to enjoy books together and meet other families.
The group runs monthly, with each session exploring a different book, theme or activity. Families are welcome to attend as many sessions as they wish throughout the programme.
What you'll experience
Each session offers the chance to explore a new children's book, take part in fun and engaging activities, and discover creative ways to enjoy reading together at home. The sessions are relaxed and interactive, giving families the opportunity to share experiences, meet others and enjoy stories together.
Important information
Parents and carers must remain responsible for their children throughout the session. If more than one parent or carer wishes to attend, please book a place for each adult and child attending so that we can manage numbers appropriately.
