Free, interactive low sensory storytelling session for children aged 4 to 8 about the River Wensum, part of the Norwich River Festival.
Riverbank Storytelling comes to The Lions' Den River on Monday 26 October, from 11am to 12pm. It's a free, interactive session for children aged 4 to 8 and their families, and it's part of Norwich City Council's River Festival, which runs across the half term. The whole thing is about the River Wensum, and the session brings its stories and characters to life.
One of the characters making an appearance is the Wensum Rat Riders, fresh from their spot in the Lord Mayor's Procession. From there, the session opens up for the kids to get involved: they're invited to create their own unique Wensum River Creature, drawing on the river's wildlife, myths, and mysteries. It's a hands-on hour rather than just sitting and listening, so it's one for the younger ones to actually do something with.

The session is run in partnership with Norwich Tales and Trails and 185 Drayton Road. It's held as a low sensory session in a quiet, covered space, with limited numbers and booking required. All children need to come with an accompanying adult, and siblings are welcome too. On site there are toilets and an alcohol-free refreshment bar, and parking is at the Adam and Eve pub. The ground is uneven in places, but there are no steps to worry about. It runs from 11am to 12pm on Monday 26 October at The Lions' Den River, 79 Bishopgate, NR1 4AA, and it's free.
