About this Event

Join award-winning children’s author Fiona Lowry for a joyful storytelling session featuring her much-loved picture book Mousey Mornings. Children will meet Melvin and Zara — two little mice with big hearts — as they discover the power of friendship, teamwork, and learning to help each other.

Fiona’s events are warm, interactive, and designed to spark confidence and creativity in young readers. After the reading, children can enjoy a hands-on craft activity decorating their very own chef’s hat, inspired by Melvin’s morning adventures. The session will finish with a relaxed book signing, where Fiona will happily personalise copies for your child.

Perfect for ages 3–5, this engaging hour is ideal for families looking to introduce little ones to stories with heart.

Fiona Lowry grew up in the quiet beauty of Saline, a small Scottish village filled with fresh air, big skies, and the kind of peaceful freedom and adventure that shapes a child’s spirit. Some of Fiona’s dearest memories are of sitting with her dad in the fading light, watching bats sweep through the twilight sky — moments that quietly rooted in her a sense of wonder, stillness, and independence that she carries to this day.

The Child Book & Ticket bundle includes a copy of Mousey Mornings (RRP £9.99), available for collection at the event.

Please especially note that ticket holders 16 years of age and under must be accompanied by an adult but parents/guardians accompanying their children to this event do not require a ticket (one accompanying adult per child with ticket.)

The event may be filmed and photographed, as an attendee you consent to footage of you being used for promotional purposes.
