Come to the forest for a day of family fun this October half-term and hear the new Gruffalo story. There’s also a visit from The Gruffalo!
You’ll be able to enjoy Gruffalo Granny storytelling sessions and Gruffalo meet-and-greets at intervals throughout the day at a number of sites across the country.
What to expect
The Welcome to Storytime with Gruffalo Granny events include:
- Gruffalo Granny storytelling sessions.

There’s no need to book - just turn up and enjoy the fun. Storytelling sessions and meet-and-greets are on a first-come, first-served basis and may get busy, so arrive early to avoid missing out.
