Join the Litcraft team at Wordsworth Grasmere for Minecraft family fun!

Join the Litcraft team at Wordsworth Grasmere for Minecraft family fun! These free half-term workshops are themed around The Boy Who Climbed into the Moon by David Almond, a surreal modern fairytale in which a boy called Paul climbs a ladder to the Moon and goes inside.

We’ll read extracts from the book together and then explore Paul’s world in a custom Minecraft build. You’ll also have the chance to play Wordsworth Grasmere’s own special Minecraft build William’s Childhood Adventures.

For families with children aged 7-11 years old (younger siblings can also be booked onto this session and Minecraft Lego and magnetic blocks will be available). Free but booking essential.

Workshops take place from 10am-12pm and 2-4pm.

This listing is supplied by one of our museum partners and is not moderated by Art Fund.
