Bring the little ones along today to help us celebrate 'Fairytale Day'
Come along and meet our resident story teller, Tony Young, and listen to the magical Fairy Tales that he will be telling in the Centre on Saturday 28th February 2009.
Did you know that Thursday 26th February is officially Tell a Fairytale Day? It's a day to get out that favourite fairy story and share it with anyone who fancies a good old tale!
But what is a fairy tale? The fairy tale is a legend or story handed down through generations, usually by oral retelling and it does not have to be a story about fairies. They often explain something that happens in nature or to express the truth about life, such as a lesson to be learned.
Most fairy tales include a beginning, which starts with "Once upon a time" (but not always necessary), enchantment, some form of royalty, a wicked character, a kind character, a goodness rewarded in the end, and an ending of "they lived happily ever after."
To celebrate Tell a Fairytale Day the Flagship Centre, Bangor, has organised a storyteller, along with magical friends, to read stories to young and old between 11-3pm on Saturday 28th February.
Anthony Young, the Flagship Centre's resident storyteller, said
"Everyone loves a good old fairy tale and there is no better excuse than Tell a Fairytale Day to revisit an old favourite. Ther's nothing better than looking down at a child's face when they hear a fairy tale for the first time - to see the intense interest in whta happens to the chararcters and to hear them shout out is a real treat. I am really looking forward to the Flagship Centre's celebration on Saturday 28th February- everyone is welcome."
The event is FREE - we look forward to seeing you there, you can even come along in fancy dress if you like!
