It’s the Year of the Pig! But why? And why do the years have animals associated with them anyway? Join us at China Exchange for a lively family story telling session to give you a full flavour of how the Chinese calendar came to be through the captivating story of The Great Race. Held on the same day as the Chinese New Year parade and Trafalgar Square celebrations, the welcoming story room will be an ideal stop off point as part of a full day out in Chinatown. Book your places to let us know you are coming.

Each story telling session is 30 minutes long and designed for families. Big kids (of all ages) are welcome to come along too. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Places are limited and latecomers may not be admitted.

Two sessions will be held. Please only register for one session.

Donations are encouraged to support family activities in Chinatown such as this one (suggested amount £3).
