EVENT INFORMATION
Bring the whole family to meet and share stories with a cast of favourite characters from new and exciting classic storybooks that will ignite imaginations, support child literacy, inspire creativity and make memories. This event raises awareness around the importance of reading to children by bringing storybook characters to life for the enjoyment of the whole family.
With an event experience for every age in the family, and our cast of storybook characters in attendance, you’ll want to attend one or more of these special curated magical experiences.
Every child in attendance will receive a commemorative autograph book to collect the autographs of their favourite characters! This memento will be a wonderful way to capture the special memories created at the Storybook Gala!
