About

Join Gallery Educator and storyteller Fiona Alderton to discover the magic of stories and characters inside pictures in the Gallery.

Fiona will greet you in the Welcome Space in the Roden Centre for Creative Learning and lead you into the Gallery, through a world of imagination and into one of our paintings.

Using sensory objects and rhyming words, children and their carers can engage playfully together to support language development, communication and curiosity.

During sessions, children must be accompanied by a parent/carer.
