Textile Tales in  the cupboard - an idea for you to try.

Most children love to hear stories being read  to them, or to read for themselves.  Borrow a book, and pick up the rug from  the cupboard to sit on, and enjoy a special time in the great atmosphere in the museum.

We have some books available that parents and children can borrow to read in different rooms where there are links to the stories.  The Elves and the Shoemaker is a great story to read in the clog-making shop for example.  Or the Tailor of Gloucester in the drapers shop.  

Here is one enthusiastic reader and the book he has chosen.  Why not enjoy a quiet time reading with us during your visit..
