Folktale storytime and Robin Hood draw-a-long with children's author and illustrator Bethan Woollvin, suitable for ages 4 to 7.
Bethan Woollvin is at QUAD Studio 1 on Sunday 15 November for a Robin Hood storytime and draw-a-long, part of the Autumn Derby Book Festival. Woollvin is a children's book author and illustrator, and the session is built around her own reimagining of the Robin Hood folktale, which she describes as a funny and fierce story about standing up for what's right.
The first half is a storytime, with Woollvin reading from her version of the legend. From there, the session opens up: she'll talk through the stories and legends surrounding the famous outlaw, and then lead a draw-a-long where the children get to show off their own artistic side. It's a chance for them to move from listening to the story to drawing it themselves, with Woollvin there to guide them through it.
It's aimed at children aged 4 to 7, and adults need to accompany them and have their own ticket. Booking is essential, so you'll want to get yours sorted in advance rather than turning up on the day.
