Wakefield Museums and Castles

Join Ilbert the Dragon at Pontefract Castle for a fun afternoon of storytelling and hands-on play. 

Each month help Ilbert and his storyteller bring their books to life. There's music, props and actions.

Then you can get stuck in with activities, crafts, games and rhymes. 

These sessions are a great way to spend time together and discover new ways of learning with your child! 

Wednesday 15 April – Shoe stories: Save the day and find the missing shoe! Join in with a magical fairytale. We’ll have a stomping good time.

Wednesday 6 May – Dragon nests and eggs: Summer is coming and Ilbert’s busy bee friends are back. Listen to a summer story. Join in with some flowery fun. 

You can also do these sessions as part of 50 Things to do before you’re 5. Take part and tick off #40 Happy History, #6 Rhyme Time, #7 Making Music and lots more!
