As part of the Derby Book Festival, on the 29th and 30th May we will host FREE children’s live book reading sessions.
Join us on Thursday 29th and Friday 30th May for FREE live storytelling sessions for children throughout the day. Your child can enjoy listening to stories in our teddy bear picnic themed area.
Sessions will run between 10 am – 4 pm. Each slot will see a minimum of 2 books read to children including :
* The Tiger Who Came To Tea
* Little Bear’s Picnic
* Teddy Bear’s Picnic
* Elmer
* Cat In The Hat
* The Gruffalo
On the day, we would be grateful to receive (optional) charity contributions for our 2025 charity partner, Over The Wall Camp.
Derbion will also be a drop-off location for Derby Book Festival’s Children’s Book Appeal where locals will be able to donate their pre-loved children’s books. The initiative aims to spread a love of books and encourage a new generation of Derby readers. Books will be able to be donated at our Customer Service desk, located on level 1 outside Boots.
