Through the looking glass at Tunstall Library

About

Families will have the chance to meet characters from Alice In Wonderland to celebrate the opening of the new Tunstall Library, on Saturday 3 September.

Five characters from the popular book including the Mad Hatter, The Red Queen, the White Rabbit, and the Cheshire Cat will be on hand to have pictures with guests and wow them with acrobatic performances.

Local best-selling author Mel Sherratt will also be attending plus storyteller and face painter sessions and local illustrator Kate Leake, who will provide a drop-in illustration workshop for children and families.

The new library premises, which will be based in the recently refurbished Tunstall Town Hall, will also have a host of activities planned between 10 am and 2 pm including bite-size tasters of popular events such as Lego Club and Singing Bears.

Families will also have the opportunity to take part in the Tunstall Treasure Trail throughout the nearby Tunstall Market, with anyone who finds all the book characters receiving a special goodie bag in the library.
