Join author Em Lynas in a live storytelling and crafting session of the heartwarming book Annabelle and Flower.

Head to Swanley Grange Workshop and meet the author of Annabelle and Flower, Em Lynas.

Join a live storytelling session and craft activity all about her beautiful new picture book Annabelle and Flower. Little ones will love learning about the changing seasons, practising their moos and munches like Annabelle the cow and even creating their very own paper flower meadow to take home.

There will be three storytelling sessions in Swanley Grange Workshop at 11am, 12.30 and 2pm lasting 40 minutes on Tuesday 18 February. 

You'll need to book your child’s slot in advance. Please note that adults don't need to book tickets but there is limited space in Swanley Grange Workshop so additional adults may need to stand around the sides of the room. Tickets are free with standard admission but must be booked in advance.

There will be an opportunity to buy a copy of Annabelle and Flower from the Visitor Centre Shop.
