Stories in the Streets
Stories in the Streets is back! Discover familiar faces from stories as you explore our Victorian Streets.
You can find Mrs Tiggywinkle doing her washing, the Hungry Caterpillar munching his way through the grocer’s shop and seagulls eating the Lighthouse Keeper’s lunch.
Come along to spot the stories plus a range of trails and crafts to join in for the whole family to work together.
Drop-in during normal opening hours, included in General Admission.
