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!
