Christmas coming to Riddells

Jingle bells will ring in Riddells Creek as Dromkeen Gallery hosts its Christmas Storytime event this month.

Set for Saturday, December 7, children and families are invited to enjoy listening to some Christmas-themed children’s literature, sing songs, and take part in craft activities.

The event forms part of the gallery’s ongoing storytime program, which is hosted on the first Saturday of each month.

Dromkeen Gallery owner and teacher Bernadette Joiner said as well as spending quality time with their kids, parents get to meet other families from the community while their children iImprove listening and language skills and have plenty of fun.

“There will be several stories, Christmas songs and a craft activity. Comments from previous attendees have been very positive,” Ms Joiner said.

Christmas Storytime will begin at 2pm at 1012 Kilmore Road, Riddells Creek.

Entry to this event is free and it is aimed towards toddlers and children up to eight years old.

Attendees are requested to arrive at 1.45pm to be seated in the gallery.

Guests to Dromkeen can also browse its galleries and wander its gardens – with some trees in this garden more than 100 years old.
