Join professional London storyteller Vanessa Woolf for a colourful interactive storytime with music, props and even smells!

The Royal College of Physicians has collected books for over 500 years. Today the RCP Heritage Library has over 50,000 books! In 1666 the RCP library was all-but destroyed in the Great Fire of London. Come along this half-term, join in, meet our storyteller and help uncover the secret of the mysterious woman who rebuilt our library!

Plus our Patterns, pages and prints’ craft activity room will be open all morning. Come along to have a go at printing your own patterns, creating moving diagrams, making bookmarks, colouring fabulous pictures and more!

Venue ( Address ): 

11 St Andrew's Place

London

NW1 4LE
