FREE event – meet the children’s author Kerry McIntosh in Farnham
Free event for 7-9 year olds - pull up a tree stump and enjoy a morning with BBC Writers Room shortlisted writer and author Kerry McIntosh, listening to chapters of her debut children's book, 'Rory Green, Secret Agent to the Queen’
You’ll be in for a morning of exciting chapter reading, Q&A, an interactive #rorysgreenteam activity and refreshments! There will also be an opportunity to buy a signed copy of ‘Rory Green, Secret Agent to the Queen’. Don’t miss out there are only 40 children places available. Parents do not need to book a ticket but are welcome to stay in the Activity Centre during the storytelling.
A BBC Writers Room shortlisted writer, Kerry McIntosh draws her inspiration from real people, choosing to focus on a message of positivity through adversity and advocate for change. Kerry struggled with school life. At the time, low in confidence, she spent many classes staring out of the classroom windows dreaming. Whilst reading was enjoyed, a difficulty focussing played a part in many books being cast aside. Now she is passionate about writing, empowering fast paced and immersive children’s books to keep her young readers gripped to the end.

Zog Activity Trail at Alice Holt
Get set for a wonderful new family trail from the brilliant minds behind The Highway Rat and Gruffalo!
Follow panels and complete activities along the way as you head on a forest journey with Zog. Look out for characters from the story, uncover hidden signs on reveal panels and learn as Zog did at dragon school.
What to wear?
Outdoor clothing and sensible footwear appropriate for the weather. Ski suits are really good for children when taking part in autumn and winter outdoor activities as they keep the child snug and offer brilliant protection when splashing in puddles :) We have ones similar to this.
There are so many trees here why not make a little educational trip. get your little ones a book or worksheet and help them identify the trees you find.
We love packing these and hunting for all the things on the cards. We love packing these and hunting for all the things on the cards. The children have little bags for collecting the items. These are great for allowing the kids to easily see what they have collected so far.
The open areas lend themselves to a bit of bird watching. This kit contains everything you need to take your family bird watching, including bird identifcation cards and binoculars.
