Events in Rochdale for 10/07/2009

Two shows followed by trapeze and circus skills workshops.

Parents and children are invited to join Heybrook and Greenbank Sure Start Children’s Centres at Jarvis Street Methodist Church for a craft and story time every week starting from Friday this week.

The session will include favourite children stories such as The very hungry caterpillar, The tiger that came for tea, Peepo and The biggest bear. Each week will be themed with a different story and related craft run by the Children’s Centre in the church hall to encourage parents who maybe haven’t used the Children’s Centre services yet to join in.

The sessions will take place every Friday from 12.45pm – 1.45pm. All are welcome, no need to book, just turn up on the day.
