Alley Katz Toy Shop at Apley Farm Shop – storytime with local children’s author

On Friday 10 April, 11-3pm, Alley Katz Toy Shop at Apley Farm Shop has organised for a local author Simon Morse to come & read & sign some of his books. He will probably be based in a Pigg’s Playbarn party room, but if the weather is nice enough, possibly storytime in the courtyard or outdoor playspace.

Click HERE to check times for storytime, which will probably be 11.30am, 12.30pm, 1.30 & 2.30pm.

His books include Rocket Kid, Say it like a snake (Annabel’s favourite !), Positively pleasant Pirates & Monster school.

The books will be being sold in the toy shop & 20p of every book sale will go to the children’s charity, Rays of Sunshine.

Whilst you’re there, don’t miss Alley Katz’s have a lovely selection of old fashioned games that will take you back to your childhood: Blow football (£4.99), Marble game (£4.99), Tiddlywinks (£3.99) & Marble reward jars (£9.99).

Perfect for Easter presents, they’re beginning a gift & homewares range which includes very pretty new napkins made by Artebene (small £2.95; regular £3.45) & Catseye mugs which sound perfect presents for men (I find it’s quite tricky working out what to give men !) with choices of racing, surfing & cycling designs (£8.50 each).
