Suffolk Community Libraries Teepee
Suffolk Community Libraries are celebrating the National Year of Reading at First Light Festival by bringing stories to the sand.
About
Throughout the weekend, families can enjoy a programme inspired by the moon and creatures with a lunar connection.
Watch tales come to life through live performance and take part in moments that invite you to listen, imagine and relax.
Whether discovering a new story, joining a performance, or sharing words inspired by the moon above the tide, this space celebrates reading as something to be experienced together.
Join us on the sand to discover stories, spark imagination and celebrate the Year of Reading – from page to performance.
