Find Your Story - Our Book Bus Tour!

The Find Your Story book bus is hitting the road, bringing the magic of reading to communities across the country where access to books and reading spaces is limited. Our mission is simple: to help every child discover a story that sparks their imagination, builds their confidence and inspires a lifelong love of reading.

The bus will be filled with hands-on activities, exciting experiences and plenty of opportunities to explore new books. From character appearances and special author visits to creative craft sessions and a cosy onboard library, each stop is planned to help children explore freely, follow their interests and discover just how enjoyable reading can be. Every child who steps onto the Find Your Story book bus will also be able to choose one free book to take home, helping them continue their reading journey long after the visit.

Further locations are to be announced soon! We encourage families to keep an eye on this page and follow our updates as the Find Your Story book bus continues its journey.

Please note that filming and photography will take place at every visit. If you do not wish to be filmed or photographed, please speak to a member of our team on the day.

Highlights from our first stop at Wythenshawe Forum!

We kicked off our Find Your Story book bus tour in Wythenshawe on 9th April with a fun-filled day for families. Children enjoyed meeting Paddington Bear, a draw-along and storytime session with author and illustrator Rob Biddulph, and a range of creative activities on board the bus. Each child also chose a free book from our cosy onboard library to take home - leaving inspired, excited, and ready to read more.
