Featuring award-winning children's author Pari Thomson, storytelling inspired by Julia Donaldson's latest nature-themed books, creative workshops and family activities, this special weekend is designed to spark curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love of reading.
Meet Pari Thomson and step into the world of Greenwild
Saturday 26 September
Bestselling children's author Pari Thomson joins us for a day of talks, workshops and book signings inspired by her award-winning Greenwild trilogy.
Perfect for readers aged 9 to 11, the Greenwild books have captured imaginations with their blend of magical adventure, extraordinary plants and environmental themes. Visitors will have the chance to hear directly from Pari, discover the inspiration behind her stories and take part in interactive activities inspired by the natural world.
You'll also be able to explore our Rainforest Biome through a special Greenwild-inspired lens, connecting the books' themes with the incredible plants and habitats found at Eden.
Family storytelling inspired by Julia Donaldson
Sunday 27 September
The celebrations continue with a day of family storytelling inspired by some of Julia Donaldson's latest books, including:
- The Bowerbird

Beautifully illustrated by Catherine Rayner, these nature-themed stories will be brought to life by Eden's storytellers through lively readings throughout the day.
Storytelling quote
“ Stories are one of the most powerful ways we can help young people connect with nature. ”
Why storytelling matters
Storytelling has always been an important part of how we help people connect with the natural world. Through stories, we can inspire curiosity, imagination and wonder while encouraging a deeper understanding of nature, science and conservation.
Whether you're meeting an author, listening to a favourite story or exploring our Biomes, this weekend offers plenty of opportunities to discover new books and share the joy of reading together.
