Storytime & Singalong: European Day of Languages 2026
About this Event
Celebrate the European Day of Languages with a multilingual Storytime and Singalong event at Manchester Central Library! Come along as we sing and bring stories to life in English, Spanish, Polish and Italian.
Whether you are looking to introduce your child to new sounds, practice a second language, or simply enjoy the magic of live storytelling, this interactive session offers a fun, welcoming space for listeners of all ages.
To mark the occasion, our storytellers bring the beloved children's book The Gruffalo to life in four languages, celebrating the rich linguistic diversity of Europe!
The Gruffalo is a renowned children's tale written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. It follows the story of a quick-witted mouse taking a stroll through the forest, who fends off potential predators—a fox, an owl, and a snake—by inventing a terrifying imaginary creature called the Gruffalo, only to be shocked to encounter the actual monster later on.
The storytelling will be followed by a multilingual singalong and a craft workshop led by Magaly Flores.
In collaboration with Società Dante Alighieri, Manchester City of Literature and Read Manchester – National Literacy Trust.
Recommended age: 3-7
Free multilingual activity in Spanish, English, Italian and Polish.
