Join us as we read a story together and try out craft activities relating to the book. Then take part in a museum treasure hunt searching for objects or characters from the story. Our themes this autumn include conservation and archaeology, as well as a seasonal story for the end of October!

This month's story is: If I had a Vampire Bat by Gabby Dawnay and Alex Barrow.

This charming addition to the popular If I had a... series is timed perfectly for Halloween, and features a sharp-toothed but adorable vampire bat as its main star. Taking inspiration from the Addams Family, it imagines what it would be like to live a nocturnal lifestyle and the funny scenarios one might encounter trick-or-treating or at the funfair with a vampire bat as your pal.

Suitable for children aged 2-4 accompanied by an adult
