THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR IS COMING...
From Saturday 11 to Sunday 19 February, The Lexicon, will host a fabulous interactive trail based on Eric Carle’s best-selling children’s book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Following the same journey of the caterpillar from egg to butterfly, visitors will wind their way through an assortment of larger-than-life fruit sculptures (starting at Waitrose and finishing in Princess Square), a cosy chrysalis and a beautiful butterfly, all based on artwork from the famous book.
Visitors to the town centre, can pick up a trail leaflet and free piece of fruit (while stocks last) at Waitrose to start their adventure. The interactive mini adventure, will help to teach children about the close relationship between plants and insects as they search for items such as apples and pears to complete the trial.
There will also be storytelling sessions (lasting between 30 and 40 minutes) in Waterstones and Fenwick on Tuesday 14 and Friday 17 February 2003. Spaces for the storytell sessions are now at capacity and there is NO further space available. Cushions will be available for children to use, parents will be required to stand.
There are a variety of prizes that can be won as part of The Very Hungry Caterpiller which have been kindly sponsored by Penguin Random House, Rainbow Design Toys, Ella's Kitchen and Bloom & Blossom, pick up an trail leaflet at Waitrose and keep an eye on our social media pages for further information.
Running at the same time is KIDS EAT FREE.
Five restaurants are involved this half-term including-: Fuego in Fenwick / Las Iguanus / M&S Café / Tangs / The Real Greek / Wagamama and the Waitrose Restaurant
Did you know that a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar is sold somewhere in the world every minute? While the book was published more than half a century ago in 1969, it remains a bookshelf staple for many families today.
