A story session reading the new picture book Gruffalo Granny, followed by a chance to meet the Gruffalo, who is visiting the shop. Best for younger children who love the books. Each child goes home with a colouring and activity pack. Adults stay with their children without needing a ticket, but the shop asks for only one adult per family to save space.
