SUMMARY:Storytime & Singalong: European Day of Languages 2026
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the European Day of Languages with Instituto Cervantes at Manchester Central Library! Come along as we sing and bring stories to life in English\, Spanish\, Polish and Italian. \nWhether you are looking to introduce your child to new sounds\, practice a second language\, or simply enjoy the magic of live storytelling\, this interactive session offers a fun\, welcoming space for listeners of all ages. \nTo mark the occasion\, our storytellers bring the beloved children’s book The Gruffalo to life in four languages\, celebrating the rich linguistic diversity of Europe! \nThe Gruffalo is a renowned children’s tale written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. It follows the story of a quick-witted mouse taking a stroll through the forest\, who fends off potential predators—a fox\, an owl\, and a snake—by inventing a terrifying imaginary creature called the Gruffalo\, only to be shocked to encounter the actual monster later on. \nThe storytelling will be followed by a multilingual singalong and a craft workshop led by Magaly Flores. In collaboration with Società Dante Alighieri\, Manchester City of Literature and Manchester Libraries. \nRecommended age: 3-7. Free multilingual activity in Spanish\, English\, Italian and Polish. \nFree – book your free place on Eventbrite here or click ‘Book Now’ below. \nPlease consider making a donation if you can here or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library
