Free the Words
It’s raining again, but it won’t for ever, and we are bringing the outdoors indoors to Rook Lane Chapel, with an exhibition and activity programme sharing innovative projects and ideas taking a creative, fresh air approach to reading and stories.
Free the Words gives a glimpse of work underway in two local village schools, Rode Methodist First School and Norton St Philip First School, alongside artist-led digital story telling in the breath-taking scenery of the Coleridge Way in West Somerset.
The exhibition shares photos, films and activities from the three projects alongside a lively programme of events for all ages.
