About This Event

The Relaxed October Half Term Storytelling Session (SEND-friendly) at Calke Abbey will offer a relaxed storytelling experience with Halloween themes, followed by crafts. This session requires admission.

Join Fiona the Calke witch for a relaxed, spooky storytelling session this October, followed by Halloween crafts.

This is a relaxed session aimed at children with SEND, neurodivergent children or those who would benefit from a less structured environment. Stories in this session will be sign-supported using Makaton, and Fiona will cater to the needs of those in attendance. Children are welcome to complete their craft during the session or take it home to finish later.

Timings are flexible but we anticipate story reading to last 30 mins, with the rest of the time available for you to create your own wooden Halloween wreath.

All craft materials are included.
