Harpur Centre’s May Kid’s Club Set to Inspire Young Storytellers

Families in Bedford are in for a treat this May as Harpur Centre hosts a vibrant and creativity-fuelled Kid’s Club event, celebrating Children’s Book Week.

On Saturday 10 May 2025, young book lovers and aspiring writers can step into a world of imagination with a range of engaging activities designed to spark a love for storytelling and reading.

One of the highlights of the day is an interactive story writing workshop where budding authors will have the chance to craft their own tales, invent characters, and bring their ideas to life with the magic of words. Whether creating adventurous heroes or mystical lands, children will be encouraged to unleash their creativity in a supportive and fun environment.

For those who love to get hands-on, the bookmark-making station offers the perfect opportunity to design unique and colourful bookmarks. This special keepsake will accompany them on their reading adventures and serve as a reminder that every great story begins with a single page turn.

Adding to the excitement, Harpur the mascot will be making surprise appearances throughout the day, spreading joy, high-fives, and plenty of opportunities for fun photo moments.

Families can also enjoy a cosy reading corner where little bookworms can curl up with a selection of enchanting tales, turning the event into a full day of literary discovery.

Located in the heart of Bedford’s town centre, Harpur Centre is more than just a shopping destination. It stands as a vibrant community hub where families, friends, and visitors come together. Whether exploring shops, attending engaging events, or simply connecting with others, Harpur Centre plays a key role in Bedford’s social life. The Harpur Kid’s Club is a shining example of how the centre fosters creativity, learning, and togetherness, offering free activities that make cherished memories for families across the town.

Best of all, Harpur Kid’s Club is completely free and open to all. Families can simply turn up and join in the festivities, no booking required.

With a combination of storytelling magic, artistic fun, and a warm community atmosphere, this event promises to be a fantastic way to nurture a lifelong passion for books and creative expression.
