Aimed at those aged five and under – plus their parents or carers – the Teddy Bears’ Picnic is the perfect place to find out more about the many services and opportunity on offer for children and families – from inspiring young bookworms via the library service to how to access childcare, healthcare and more.
Each of the stalls offer information that is specifically for the families and carers of those aged five and under, with interactive and practical activities to showcase the work they do.
