This includes the Dementia Festival, the new children's Teddy Time on Tuesday mornings and dressing up in the afternoon.

597 children read 2,290 books as part of the Summer Reading Challenge.

Other activities include Cards for Good Causes (from 11 October), and, with the Free Shop, you can donate there to the Winter Warmer Coats from 7 to 19 October.
