Join us for a magical Glow Read Walk as part of Rotherham’s Year of Reading programme.
Families will enjoy a shared audio story through the BorrowBox app while following a guided route around the park. As you walk, the story will come to life through the surroundings, creating a fun outdoor experience for the whole family. After the walk, head back to warm up with a hot chocolate and enjoy a mini disco.
