Half Term Children’s Events at Foyles Royal Festival Hall

Join us to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee in our cosy bookshop on the Southbank, where we will be celebrating this very special occasion with a series of free children's events, featuring colouring, activities and storytelling with our expert children's booksellers - plus some exciting competitions. Refreshments will also be served to all the little Kings and Queens who join in the fun!

Activity sessions start at 3pm daily and last for approximately an hour, and will include storytelling. There's no need to book, but children will be allocated places on a first-come first-served basis so please turn up 5 - 10 minutes before the fun starts as we have limited space (maximum 9 children per session).

Recommended for children aged 3 - 8 years.
