As the sun rises on a new day, a mother and daughter head out hand-in-hand on their annual trip through the wild fields, past the town and to their beloved mulberry tree – and they’ve invited you to join them! Led by children’s author Tanya Rosie, this storytelling workshop will take listeners inside the nostalgic world of her debut picture book Mum, Me and the Mulberry Tree. Beautifully illustrated and full of a rosy-eyed fondness for childhood, Rosie will share her story with audiences before helping attendees craft their own heartfelt tales. Free activity sheets will be provided to help you keep the fun going at home! Ages 3 years+

How can writing about our experiences help us understand the world? Can the art of journalling transform our lives? Discover the answers to these questions as we commemorate the 75th anniversary of Anne Frank’s famous diary with a journalling workshop. Writer and facilitator Jan Carson will guide you through the challenge of overcoming the blank page and show you how to channel your life experiences into prose full of meaning and value. All you need to bring is yourself and a notebook and pen.
