Reading Festival
Every summer for the last three years Wisbech Reads has held a reading festival during the summer term. The festival invites year 1 children to come into Wisbech and join in with a number of exciting activites. A workshop with a published author/illustrator, a visit to the library to learn how to take out a book, a visit to the museum to learn more about the collections, hear stories and do a craft actvity, and a visit to the castle to create poems.
The children all receive a Discover Arts Award at the end of the day for taking part in so many different and exciting arts activities.
