The Royal College of Physicians has collected books for over 500 years. Today the RCP Heritage Library has over 50,000 books! In 1666 the RCP library was all-but destroyed in the Great Fire of London. Come along this half-term, join in, meet our storyteller and help uncover the secret of the mysterious woman who rebuilt our library!
Plus our Patterns, pages and prints’ craft activity room will be open all morning. Come along to have a go at printing your own patterns, creating moving diagrams, making bookmarks, colouring fabulous pictures and more!
Ticket for one child costs £8 – book a second child free with our 2 for 1 offer!
The story will be shared at 10am and 11am, choose your preferred time and book a ticket to enjoy a 30-minute story time. The ticket also entitles you to drop-in to our ‘Patterns, pages and prints’ craft activity room to have fun with paper-based creation anytime between 10am and 12.30pm. Recommended for children aged 5 – 11 but all are welcome.
All children must be accompanied by an adult but accompanying adults can attend free and do not need to book separately.
