Local author and illustrator, Simon Chadwick, is helping us celebrate the importance of Independent Bookshops by hosting a story time.

Simon is the author of the popular New Forest Friends books, a series that's now bridged the generations with parents who enjoyed it as children buying the books for their young ones. All the stories are told from the animals point of view as they experience the things we do when visiting their home.

Simon will be at The Imaginarium reading a few of his books to children for Independent Bookshop Week. If you want to help us celebrate come along with the little ones to meet Simon.

Suitable for ages 0+

This event is free and children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
