Sail Spooky Seas!
Specially for Halloween, you’re invited to make a ghost ship crewed by a motley band of spooks, vampires, undead pirates and things that go bump in the night!
Ghostly Galleons is a spine-tingling FREE craft session for children aged 6 to 12 accompanied by a parent or guardian. The bony hands upon the ship’s wheel guiding this creepy craft session safely across haunted seas will be those of the renowned Chris Geeson Creative Clubs.
It’s on Wednesday 28th October from 10am until 12 Noon. Places are limited so booking is essential. Pirate hats and phantom parrots optional.
To book your voyage
Sail into the library and say ‘Arrr!‘ Or you can shiver our timbers by ringing 01609 534584. Alternatively email us on ecl.generalenquiries@gmail.com
“Who’s a pretty boy then?” Who said that?!
Ghostly Galleons is kindly sponsored by Britcab.

Storytime
STOP PRESS: Storytime will return after the holidays on Thursday 10th September.
Storytime – every Thursday during term time from 10.15am to 11.00am. FREE story readings for under 5s accompanied by a parent or carer. There’s no need to book; just rock up. We’re pushchair-friendly too – you can park them inside the library.
Pull on those comfy seven-league boots, shoulder your faithful old knapsack, and install the magic bean app on your phone. Then stroll your wide-eyed and unsuspecting pre-schoolie along to the library to enjoy one of our lovely volunteers bringing a children’s tale or two to life.
Whilst it’s great that Storytime is popular, due to increasing numbers and the limited space available we’re not able to accommodate children from childcare providers. Thank you for your understanding.
Knit & Natter
Knit & Natter, run by our lovely volunteers, meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month from 10am until Noon.
Join us for good chat and a cuppa. Catch up on your latest project or start a new one. All abilities are welcome and if you get yourself into knots our knitting and crocheting wizards are sure to be able to untangle things for you.
