Elm & Willow: Evening Storytime by the Lake

Bring your own or purchase a copy of Elm & Willow’s Adventures at Rippon Lea: Teddy Bears’ Picnic and settle in with the author, Matt Chester, for a group reading surrounded by the gardens that inspired the story.

Inspired by Rippon Lea’s much-loved Teddy Bears’ Picnic, the story follows best bear friends Elm and Willow as they set off to explore the estate, meeting a cast of helpful, and sometimes not-so-helpful, animal friends along the way. Beautifully illustrated by Melbourne local and friend of Rippon Lea, Joleen Jenkins, it’s a delightful adventure for young readers and their families.

Bring your teddy, find a cosy spot by the lake and enjoy a relaxed evening of storytelling in the magical surrounds of Rippon Lea.
