National Bookstart Day


Children in pirate dress To celebrate National Bookstart Day on Friday 10 October, the children from Brambles Nursery (based at Reydon and Southwold Children's Centre) were treated to a pirate storytime down on Southwold Pier.

The event was held in the pier's "Mermaids and Pirates" shop and saw the 25 preschool children listening to nautical stories, singing sea shanties, colouring in the skull and crossbones, and dressing up as pirates.  Stories were read by Southwold library's manager Charlotte Clark, also in her best pirate outfit.  Afterwards the pier very kindly provided refreshments for the children.
