Head on over to the Little People’s History Museum without leaving the comfort of your own home… get ready for bed and settle in for the latest livestreamed, multi-sensory interactive story session told with puppets – the perfect way to end the day.

Join in the fun adventure as Mr Ordinary and his friends try to find his thinking and doing in this story of Manchester’s coat of arms.

Mr Ordinary is back, and this time someone has stolen his thinking and doing – what will he do without them? Join in the fun adventure as Mr Ordinary and his friends try to find them in this story of Manchester’s coat of arms.

This is a free family-friendly event, suitable for under fives and their grown-ups, and lasts half an hour on the People’s History Museum Facebook page. No booking required, there’s no need to sign up in advance.

If bedtime stories – or even non-bedtime stories – are on your reading list this year, check out Chetham’s Library for fun and educational activity packs (email them to enquire what is available online in the Library Learners archive) and sign up for the Children & Families Newsletter via the Manchester Libraries website. And be sure to keep an eye on the Creative Tourist Families Guide too.
