Family Fun: Storytelling and draw along with Nadine Kaadan
Saturday 22 November 2025, 11am - 12:30pm and 2:30-4pm
Join us in a fun, imaginative workshop where families will take part in life-drawing activities and draw-along challenges, to co-create a final illustration inspired by the meaning of 'peace'.
Nadine Kaadan, an award-winning children’s book author and illustrator, will read from her book Tomorrow , while talking about her creative process, inspired by memories of her childhood in Damascus.
The workshop will help adults grow their confidence in supporting children to read and develop a love of books. The session will also encourage children to relate themselves to characters and stories they read at home.
Useful Information:
- The Family Fun workshops are designed for primary school children, age 5-10 years old.
- Children must be accompanied by an adult during the workshop - workshops are not drop-off and the accompanying adult must stay with their child.
- To avoid disappointment, please do not book tickets for children / siblings under 5, as they will not be able to participate. Additional family members accompanying younger siblings are welcome to enjoy our café and garden during the workshop.
- The workshops will take place in the Leighton House Learning Centre and might include access to the historic house.
- Accompanying adults (1x per child) come for free and admission to the historic house is included in the ticket price.
