11am - 12 noon
Travel back 2,000 years to Roman Britain for a thrilling Half Term adventure with children's author Claire Linney at Happy Reading!
Children will discover fascinating stories from Britain's past before using their imaginations to create their very own time-travelling story ideas!
Taking place during Black History Month, this is a wonderful opportunity to discover some of the lesser-known stories of Britain's diverse history through fiction, storytelling and creativity.
Zula and Milo are travelling through time once again – but this time, they're on a rescue mission! Zula's aunt Abina is trapped in Roman York, almost 2,000 years in the past, and the young time travellers must find a way to bring her home. But rescuing Abina is only the beginning...
The mysterious Time Tub has another mission waiting for them: sneak into the heavily guarded palace of Septimius Severus, the African-born Roman Emperor, and save a vital piece of history before it's lost forever! From bustling Roman bathhouses to imposing army forts, Roman Rescue takes readers on an action-packed adventure through Roman Britain, introducing fascinating historical details and shining a light on the diverse people and stories that have shaped Britain's past.
Full of humour, mystery, friendship and courage, this is a wonderfully imaginative adventure for readers who love history, time travel and a good mystery.
Every child takes home their own copy of Time Tub Travellers: Roman Rescue to continue the adventure at home!
During the session, the responsible adult(s) are very welcome to enjoy their favourite coffee and pastry downstairs at STAPLE or come and hang out upstairs in the bookshop!!
Children will sit for the reading, then move to a play/craft table for activities. All materials are provided and age-appropriate.
