13th May Friday Only
Open: 7-11pm
Join Seven Stories for a night of magic and storytelling.
With three floors of free-entry galleries celebrating magic, nature and books, there will be something for all ages to enjoy including UV face painting – snap a pic in the dark Wildwoods Gallery on Level 5 to see your face literally light up – writing and drawing activities and drop-in storytimes in the cosy Attic (8pm, 9pm and 10pm).
The exhibition featuring the kitchen units which inspired the iconic story The Tiger Who Came To Tea will be open (with activities for under 12s), along with three floors of galleries suitable for kids and grown-ups, featuring work and materials from Tony Ross, Enid Blyton, Phillip Pullman, JK Rowling, CS Lewis and more beloved authors and illustrators.
The Coffee Shop and Bookshop will be open until 11pm for refreshments and purchases.
