Description

Bristol Libraries invites you to a fun-filled day of activities to boost your mood!

From origami to a taster Tai Chi session, there’s something for everyone. Come along, get involved, and try something new.

10:30-11:15 – Lip reading and deaf awareness session with Ruth (lipreadingbristol@gmail.com): for everyone.

What will we cover?

Exploring how words look on the lips and noticing some confusing similarities. How context, body language, and strategies can help lipreaders. Fun, no-pressure activities, to experience what it’s like to rely on lipreading.

11:30-12:00 – Tai Chi and tea taster session with Age UK Bristol: open to everyone. Come and try this often described ’meditation in motion’ activity.

12:30-13:30 – Nature and fungi Haiku workshop. A fun and relaxed session that’s open to everyone. Whether you’re new to Haiku or want to practice your Haiku poetry skills.

13:30-14:30 – Origami workshop with Meg, who is a member of the British Origami Society.

14:30-15:30 – Friendship bracelet making with two of our super friendly library assistants.
