A magic pot that cooks endless porridge sounds like a dream until everyone forgets the secret spell to make it stop. This interactive storytelling session invites young children and their families to sing along, explore sensory props, and help fix the spell before the village is buried in breakfast.
Part of the British Library’s Fairy Tales season, the session also includes a chance to get cosy in a pop-up reading space and take part in craft activities, making it the perfect start to a library adventure for the littlest visitors.
