This Summer, Kirkby Gallery will be transformed into a larger-than-life book with giant pages, filled with stories and poems written by young people from 16 different Knowsley schools. You can walk through the huge illustrated anthology, read the stories and even get creative while you’re here!
It’s the perfect exhibition for the whole family to keep the kids entertained over the holidays – bright, colourful, full of fun, and free!
We’re holding a Private View event to give people a first glimpse of the show before it opens to the public.
We’d especially like to welcome pupils from the schools involved and their families to see it first.
At the Private View, we will be giving away copies of the stories for you to keep as a special memento – you might even be lucky enough to get yours signed by some of the young writers!
If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Tina Ball and let us know how many places you would like.
