About This Event

The Polar Museum in Cambridge will host an event titled Polar Stories on 18 August 2026 at 10:30. The event will feature readings of children's books about the polar regions. Admission is free.

Join us at the Polar Museum as we read some of our favourite children's books about the polar regions

This August, come join our new polar story hour, a chance to listen to a selection of stories from the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Before Kat started at the Polar Museum, she was a primary school teacher, and she loves finding the chance to read her favourite polar books aloud. We'll also have a special object handling activity at the end to help bring the stories to life!

These events are aimed at children between 4 and 8 years old, but all young book-lovers are most welcome! Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
