About

The celebration encourages people to come and join in a relaxed morning focused on reading stories. Those taking part can bring their favourite stories or their favourite book to share with others. Throughout the morning, there will be readings of stories of all kinds — familiar tales, new discoveries, short pieces, and longer favourites — creating a warm, easy‑going atmosphere.

Denso Marston Nature Reserve in Baildon is a quiet, welcoming green space, home to wildlife and community learning, making it an ideal place to enjoy stories in a calm, natural setting.
