In our LEGO® in libraries sessions, your child will get the chance to improve their maths and English skills, while having fun playing with relatable LEGO® characters! Using LEGO® Education kits and Chromebooks, children will guide characters through compelling stories and use problem-solving, literacy and coding skills to complete each unit. This is a free, bookable event, which can be attended by up to 5 children. If the event is full, you will join a waiting list and will be informed if an additional space becomes available. Please let the library know if your child cannot attend a session, otherwise we reserve the right to cancel your booking for future sessions.

This summer, Creative Tendring is bringing local folklore to life through spectacular wearable straw sculptures inspired by traditional mummers, legends, and straw crafts.
Join us at Manningtree Library to explore local stories, share ideas, and help design a brand-new mythical beast for Tendring. Will it be a sea creature, a guardian of the fields, or something entirely unique? Let your imagination shape a new local legend.
A fun, creative session for all ages
