Young Essex at PLACE

This event is part of Essex Book Festival’s Oh, The Places We’ll Go! Young Essex at PLACE weekend in Colchester on Saturday 23 March.

Join us for a fab day out for families at Firstsite, exploring place, identity, history and heritage through books, reading, writing and storytelling. Our Pop Up Storytelling Armchair is back; there’ll also be bookmaking, writing workshops, origami boatbuilding and Chinese calligraphy, not to mention The Mothership Project, when children in Essex will be exchanging messages of friendship with children in China.
