Do bedtime a little differently! Head on over to the Little People’s History Museum from the comfort of your own home and spend the evening watching their latest livestreamed, multi-sensory interactive bedtime story session featuring puppetry.

Under the Rainbow is sure to provide some pre-bedtime entertainment but not too much of course, as you’ll no doubt be hoping your little ones will head off for a long snooze.

The latest tale in this popular series is all about a dragon who visits the Queen and doesn’t know quite what to do! Your bambinos are tasked with helping Her Highness solve clues to get to the end of the rainbow and find what she’s looking for.

This is a family friendly event, suitable for under 5s and their grown-ups. No booking or registration is required, just head over to the People’s History Museum Facebook page and tune in.
