主播大秀

The 主播大秀 RaW Family Storytelling Festival arrives in Wolverhampton on Saturday 19th July, pitching itself for two days in Bantocks House from 10am-5pm.

The free festival offers families and friends a weekend long feast of free, magical storytelling activities with a special guest star appearance from Mike Fischetti, presenter of C主播大秀's SMart.

Kids join in the storytelling at RaW

Mike Fischetti said: "I'm really looking forward to coming to Wolverhampton and telling awesome tales to the city's youngsters!听 It's amazing what stories go on in my head.听 I hope I'll also find the time to make some messy art stuff too.听 I'll be packing my blue dungarees, just in case. So come along for lots of stories, games, art and fun!"

Max and Lara's Amazing Travelling Space Circus is 主播大秀 RaW's family activity pack designed for less confident adult readers to share with their young children.

RaW will be bringing to life the characters and invites families of all ages to join Max, Lara and their wacky friends for two packed days of storytelling fun.

Fun activities

Surrounding the main stage where Max, Lara and a variety of performers will entertain the audience, the event will also feature live storytelling activities and story writing workshops, clowns, jugglers and costume characters, animation, puppetry shows, rhythm and rhyme sessions and lots of freebies including storybooks, activity packs and much more!

RaW is the 主播大秀's biggest ever adult literacy campaign: a media and entertainment led campaign to develop better reading and writing skills.听

主播大秀 RaW's Family Storytelling Festival is in response to the over-whelming positive feedback the campaign's family activity pack, Max and Lara's Amazing Travelling Space Circus, has received.听 In 2007, over 26,000 people attended the RaW Storytelling Festival.

The festival is supporting the National Year of Reading and Bookstart.
