Description

Where books come alive in the great outdoors!

We're thrilled to bring you something magical - our brand new parent-child book clubs now running across beautiful parks in Croydon and Purley!

Story time under the trees, little voices joining in with favourite songs, new friendships blooming, and the pure joy of discovering wonderful books together.

Our book clubs are all about creating those moments that make reading an adventure.

Every week brings:

  • Story magic with carefully chosen books that spark imagination
  • Lovely chats with other families who share your love of books
  • A warm welcome with a complimentary hot drink for grown-ups
  • Take-home joy - each child gets their very own book to keep!

Plus, every session you join helps us maintain our beloved ParkBoxes and dream up new ones across the borough - be part of our growing movement.

Why We Love Outdoor Reading Time

There's something truly special about combining the magic of stories with fresh air and nature. While your little ones are building their love of language, discovering new words, and exploring incredible worlds through books, they're also getting all the benefits of being outdoors.
