World Book Day

For: Early Years & Key Stage 1

Visitor Announcement

The Armed Forces Memorial, and its immediate surroundings, will be closed to visitors from 10am on Friday 8 August to 5pm on Sunday 17 August to allow us to prepare to host the national VJ Day 80 commemorations. The rest of the Arboretum's 150-acres will remain open to visitors as normal. We are sorry for any inconvenience this might cause and appreciate your understanding during this time.

Centring around Julia Donaldsons ‘The Stick Man’ and our very own book ‘Arbie and the Magical Lights’, we are encouraging students to develop a love of reading and stories.

 

During the day the students will listen to the stories through immersive storytelling, explore our outdoor Stickman Trail and take part in interactive classroom activities.
