The Booknic (a mash-up of 'book' and 'picnic') is the final event taking place as part of Coventry Schools Art Week (23 June - 29 June).
This is an informal, free event for Coventry School children and their adults to enjoy a range of activities in celebration of reading! Bring yourselves, any instruments or crowns you might have made, pre-loved books for the Great Big Book Swap and a picnic!
No central booking required, although your school may be organising its own booking system, particularly if your child is involved in a stage performance.
Please note, although teachers from your school may be present, you remain responsible for your children at all times.
