Oakwood Library (19th August)
With the release of The BFG in cinemas, Oakwood Library has come up with the perfect way to celebrate it – The Big Friendly Picnic. This free event will take place in the library’s garden, which will be opened up for a whole host of Roald Dahl-themed activities. This fabulous family day out in Leeds encourages kids to dress as their favourite character – 10 points for whoever comes as The Twits. Bring a picnic (some refreshments will be provided too), a blanket and join in the fun.
